A review by reasonpassion
The Jesus Incident by Frank Herbert

5.0

For we have created god in our image and then forgotten that we were an essential part of that process. Here is the essence of this story, epic in scope, profound in thought and inspiring in its portrayal of the inherent spiritual focus in humanity. We act out our impulses without any knowledge of where they come from and then ascribe an external power due to our ignorance, all along it is the humanity behind the human, the force behind the form that we tap into in every creative genius. There are many ideas Herbert covers here that is also done, to a greater or lesser degree in Dune, but these are not themes that ever get old and they are most assuredly worthy of contemplation.
