A different gospel: Reimagining Jesus Christ
(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated August 18, 2025)In Benyamin's novel The Second Book of Prophets (a re-imagining of the lives of Jesus Christ and his followers), there's a scene where Jesus is struggling to overcome a moment of self-doubt. The Jews think of him as a saviour foretold. But Jesus himself doesn't believe that true freedom (religious or political) can be achieved without a transformation of society, in a way that protects the poor masses. 'For a man burdened with agony and suffering, there's no liberation,' he thinks. The scene signals the central conceit of the book—writing the character of Jesus Christ as a young, angst-fuelled revolutionary who wants social reform not as a means to power but as an aspirational goal all by about the novel during an interview, Benyamin says, 'This novel happened after I read studies on recent discoveries related to the history of Christianity, like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi library. These new texts challenge our preconceptions of what that time would have looked like.' In previous novels like Yellow Lights of Death (2015) and Body and Blood (2020), Benyamin had used Christian theology and history as pivotal plot The Second Book of Prophets, he has joined Anatole France, Jose Saramago, Norman Mailer et al, writers who produced fictionalisations of the life of Christ. There's a sense you get that Benyamin is focusing on the parts of Christ's journey that are readily applicable to modern-day socio-political contexts. 'When readers get something relevant to the current context, it's easier for them to stay invested in the story,' he says. 'I wanted to show how Jesus a social reformer. He wanted to change the way we live and not just change the way we pray.' Subscribe to India Today Magazine- Ends

On Monday, Suniel Shetty treated fans to an adorable image of a quirky animal-themed birthday cake on Instagram. The thick and creamy dessert came with a soft, blue-tinted base. It was decorated with fondant figures of farm animals, including a cow, a horse, a chicken, and two ducklings—all painted in vibrant food colours. There was a small brown-hued fence, sugary cloud miniatures, and a cute red barn on top. The words "Happy Birthday, Ajja (grandfather)" were written on the delicious treat with chocolate ice cream. Yes, it was little Evaraah's gift to her grandfather Suniel Shetty. The side note read, "My most precious, from my most precious." Watch Suniel Shetty's post below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Suniel Shetty (@ Although Suniel Shetty gives in to occasional sweet indulgences, like on his birthday, the actor is a hardcore practitioner of healthy eating. Do you know he regularly nurtures and maintains his home garden, enjoying fresh produce from nature? Last year, the Hera Pheri film star shared a video on Instagram where he was seen plucking ripe lemons from his garden. He admired the homegrown goodness with pride before carefully cutting the citrus fruits. Next, he collected them in a tray. The caption said, "Yellow lemons: the colour of sunshine, happiness, health and pure energy." Read all about it here. Previously, Suniel Shetty opened up about his diet in a conversation with Chanda Kochhar on his podcast Journey Unscripted. The actor revealed, "I quantify my food and make sure there are things I don't eat. Anything white for me is taboo, whether it's milk because I'm lactose intolerant or whether it's white rice or ice cream... I pack my dinner off by 7 in the evening." Once again, a very happy birthday to the fit and fabulous Suniel Shetty.
