This month we are publishing Asch's controversial bestseller, "Mary." With "Mary," Sholem Asch concludes his trilogy on the founding of Christianity. In “The Nazarene” he portrayed the crucifixion from several point s of view—a Roman Centurion, a young Judean student and the rabbinical authorities who witnessed the rise of Jesus with alarm. "The Apostle," told the story of Saul of Tarsis’s tireless, obsessive effort to spread the message of the “Christ Messiah” throughout the ancient world.. In “Mary” Asch confronts the greatest mystery of all---the mother of the Messiah and her relation to her son and her world. This portrayal of Miriam-as he calls her-is perceptive and tender and rich in intuitive insights into the heart of the devout young girl who finds herself marked for the glorious but terrifying role of which every Jewish girl dreamed- that of bearing the Messiah. A distinctive element in the book is its detailed account of the childhood and boyhood of Jesus. We are given a fine picture of the first subtle intimations of a mission, of attributes which set this child apart from his parents, his brothers, his fellow Nazarenes. These qualities engender love, but also resentment. A few perceive the great man to come, but many foretell, gloomily, a headstrong course that can come to no good end. Both predictions are eventually fulfilled as the man, his doctrines and his fate change the world.
