Förlagets beskrivning
Meet Zael, The Goat of God, the first scapegoat in history, upon whom the sins of the Hebrew people were placed in the Sinai Desert on the very first Day of Atonement. Zael is sent off into the wilderness, called Azazael, according to biblical tradition. The Goat of God traces Zael's transition from goat to human in order to bear those sins, becoming a witness to history in the process. More than that, Zael is tasked to develop and edit the Old Testament, the chronicle of the ancient Israelite people. Because of the burden of sins, not his own, which had been placed upon him, Zael cannot either age or die until his task is completed. The Testament he ultimately produces goes far beyond human history, however, as it also details the presence and evolving role of the Almighty in that history. The book ends with a unique meeting between The Goat of God and The Prince of Peace, Jesus. The Goat of God is inspiring for people of all faiths, without being preachy, according to a professional critique done on the book. Zael journeys throughout the ancient Middle East, but his spiritual journey is one which we may take today, in our own lives, as we seek answers to humanity's eternal questions. Zael's quest is mirrored in the spiritual search we all endeavor
