This portrait is not the detached, separated God-person that as is offered by many churches for their believers today, but is presented as a real person capable of thought, feeling, and emotion. He attempts a true picture of who He was as He walked the earth. Muriac’s offers this with both profound faith and an almost reverent imagination. This may be an unacceptable depiction of Christ by many however, the portrayal is both thought provoking and worthy of contemplation
