Hi,

We just had a request for a book our customer read when she was in high
school (late 60s, early 70s) about a character who time traveled back to
the time of Jesus-he was looking for Jesus, but somehow becomes Jesus and
suffers through everything Jesus did. Sorry, that's all the customer
remembered. Her sister also read it but couldn't come up with anything more.
Thanks for any help available on this search.

This is BEHOLD THE MAN by Michael Moorcock. It exists in both novel
length and novella-length versions under the same title. The novel
version was first published in 1969 in England (and has been often
reprinted both there and in the US); the shorter version came first,
in NEW WORLDS magazine #166 in 1966, and won a Nebula Award for best
novella in its year--it's been reprinted less frequently but can be
found in BEST OF THE NEBULAS ed. Ben Bova (Tor, 1989) among other
places.

This could be Michael Moorcock's "Behold the Man."

Many thanks to all of you who sent an answer to this question. We will
check with the customer today, but I am sure so many great minds can't be
wrong!
