		The stories of these three men are narrated by Pan Viadomsky, an anti-Semitic Polish scholar who claims to have discovered the lost Fifth Gospel, containing the life of Christ according to his betrayer, Judas Iscariot.
		Sholem Ashe was one of the great lights in the final flowering of Yiddish literature which began in the late 1800s as village life began to break down among Eastern European Jewish communities, and ending in the post-holocaust fiction of Isaac Singer, written in Yiddish but intended for English translation.
		While the present work by Ashe suffers from awkward translation, the theme of a life of Jesus of Nazareth seen as a Jewish messianic figure from a deeply Jewish perspective is profoundly moving.

		It was written in 1906 by Sholem Asch, one of the leading Yiddish writers of the day.

		Although in her own life Stein could not fully come to an acceptance of her own double identity as a lesbian and a Jew, she here creatively imagines doubling her identity as a way to find her voice.
		The earliest lesbian character in American Jewish writing is Rivkele, the daughter of a Jewish brothel keeper, in Sholem Asch's play God of Vengeance (1922), who falls in love with one of her father's prostitutes.
		Not surprisingly, this relationship created such an uproar that the play was briefly shut down, and its star spent a night in jail.
