Description
The novel "Barabbas" is a story about a man named Barabbas, who, according to the Gospel account, is chosen by the people of Jerusalem to be freed during the Passover festival, over Jesus Christ. Barabbas is a criminal and a murderer, yet instead of him, Jesus of Nazareth, a man regarded by many as a prophet and a symbol of goodness and benevolence, is sentenced to crucifixion. After Barabbas is set free, he is consumed by doubt and confusion. Why should a good man like Jesus be killed while he, a criminal, is allowed to live? This event profoundly affects Barabbas’s life, drawing him into an internal struggle. He gradually becomes overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, confusion, and a search for meaning in his own existence. Although Barabbas does not know Jesus personally, the shadow of Jesus and his death looms over Barabbas’s life.
