Best Novels About Jesus Christ

A list of serious (except for "Lamb") literary works that touch upon or are about the Life of Christ. I have stayed away from "Christian Fiction" because very often this genre promotes proselytizing over literary merit. I have also stayed away from the many potboilers that appeared in the 1920s and 1950s, when biblical "epics" were everywhere.
Note: Christopher Moore's "Lamb" is a hilarious send up of some apocryphal stores of Jesus's childhood and of the New-Age , "Lost Years of Jesus" nonsense: when he touches on the actual, gospel based part of the story, Moore shows an unexpected fidelity and respect for the story while retains a sense of humor.
