Klasický román jedného z najväčších autorov jidišskej literatúry rozpráva nezabudnuteľný príbeh troch mužov: Kornélia, dôstojníka rímskej posádky v Jeruzaleme v prvom storočí nášho letopočtu, Jozefa z Arimatije, mladého farizejského študenta v tej dobe a Ješuu, radikálneho kazateľa zGaliley, ktorý je známy viac pod svojim gréckym menom Ježiš. Príbehy týchto troch ľudí rozpráva pán Viadomsky, antisemitský poľský učenec, ktorý tvrdí, že objavil stratené piate evanjelium opisujúce Kristov život podľa svojho zradcu Judáša Iškariotského. Aschova kniha podáva bezprecedentný bezprostredný pohľad na rozsiahlu panorámu Svätej zeme na začiatku nášho letopočtu.
