The Thomas Jesus

Steven Fortney tells the story of Jesus in a new way — from the unusual perspective of “doubting” Thomas. Beautifully illustrated by Richard Fendrick, The Thomas Jesus is a modern look at the traditional story.

Here’s what people are saying about The Thomas Jesus:

"Fortney reveals a side of Jesus hinted at in the Bible; a Jesus who breathes, sweats and acts like any other man but who answers a higher calling to serve." -- The Library Journal, April 1, 2000 issue.

"The Thomas Jesus is a bold and intellectually challenging work, the story of Jesus told through the eyes of Thomas the Apostle.... The novel is amazing in its sweeping scholarship and refreshing in its passion. Based on the work of the much ballyhooed (by some) and belittled (by others) Jesus Seminar, The Thomas Jesus resonates with spiritual weight for anyone who has ever grappled with issues of faith and doubt." -- Madison Magazine.

“Steve Fortney has contributed a vital new addition to the volume of work on the life of Jesus. The difference here is that Jesus is a believable portrait of a man full of life and caught up in something beyond himself, something other authors have strived for but Fortney has achieved in striking clarity.” — Steven Hoffman, director of Youth and Family Ministry, Zion Lutheran Church, Stewartville, MN

“I was mesmerized by this profound new version of the story of Jesus. It’s depth and simplicity made me feel as if I were gazing into The Well of Truth.” — Keith Voos, pioneering teacher and poet-novelist

Steven Fortney is a retired teacher who lives in Stoughton, Wis. He also is the author of Heg: From Norwegian Immigrant to Civil War Hero and The Gazebo.
