Description:Although the figure of the young Jesus entirely dominates the Paidika, it is by no means clear how he is meant to be understood. On the one hand he kills or blinds people for trifling offences, but on the other, he raises people from the dead and uses his miraculous power to assist his parents. The purpose of this book, therefore is to examine the figure of Jesus as he appears in different guises: Jesus the holy terror, Jesus the child and Jesus the divine.
