Description:
Thomas Cahill describes Desire of Everything Hills as being
about ''the phenomenon of Jesus, as experienced by those who knew him
best and by the first generations of his followers.'' He wants to bring
us ''as close as we can get to this often elusive historical figure,''
sometimes telling the story as if he were an eyewitness, or quoting
a character from a novel. The book is designed to include footnotes
resembling medieval marginalia, maps and color illustrations.
