The eleven sections of Jesus’ Son are relentless. At the time of Jesus' stay on the Earth some 2000 years ago the story of Dionysus and Osiris were well established but nobody seemed to notice the similarities between the 3 of them?? Stories Jesus Told: The Persistent Widow Stories Jesus Told: The Wise and Foolish Builders. I've only read “Jesus' Son” once, but I read it in one sitting, maybe two, which means I liked the book a lot. In both of the stories we have today the great figures of faith are helping widows. The name of this collection comes from the Lou Reed song, Heroin.

A similar point is made in the Gospel where Jesus' word raises the dead son of a widow and the people proclaim 'a prophet has come among them'. We in the Christian era view Elijah as prototype of the Jesus, the Christ – Messiah and Son of God. He sits down and for 70 minutes tells a story about his own life. Denis Johnson's Jesus's Son, a collection of loosely related short stories, tells various tales of loneliness, drug addiction, and disconnection. And so people believed that Elijah would return to announce the beginning of the messianic age.
