>book starts with Joseph fucking Mary and getting her pregnant
Bit edgy

The cover just screams edgy anti-theist who can't just be a quiet atheist and has to whine. If Christianity bothers these people so much why don't they just leave it and either shut up or join a different group? Stuff like this is an exercise in spite.

I do have issues with my faith but far more with western civilization. I'd look to other faiths for answers before some woke urbanite.

It’s definitely blasphemous. Saramago tries to humanize Christ as much as possible, starting with his conception. He gives in to flesh cravings, has sex with Mary Madgalene etc. Right at the end there is a very memorable dialogue between God and the Devil. I liked it a lot, but most Christians will either be terribly insulted or roll their eyes nonstop. One thing is certain: Saramago did extensive research, even if the story he tells intentionally deviates from the Bible in some ways.

I thought the biblical setting was really fleshed out and immersive.

The last temptation succeeded in its vision while Saramago failed.
