«La segona mort de Jesús de Natzaret» is the historical and detective novel by Francesc Puigpelat i Valls, published by Proa in hardcover (392 pages, in Catalan).
Antoni, a banker from Antioch, travels to Jerusalem shortly after the crucifixion to investigate the disappearance of three million gold pieces that Jesus allegedly obtained as credit. His inquiry uncovers the ingenious but entirely non-supernatural mechanism that would explain the resurrection, and leads him to discover Jesus's secret identity and a doctrine far removed from present-day Christianity, linked to Asherah, the Mother Goddess of the Jews. A story full of twists that reinterprets canonical history from a feminist perspective and reads like a detective novel.
The book belongs to the A TOT VENT-TELA collection. The original edition was published in 2008.
For readers interested in historical fiction and heterodox reinterpretations of the figure of Jesus.
