Editing Wandering Jew (section)

The 1979 Korean novel ''Son of Man'' by [[Yi Mun-yol]] (introduced and translated into English by Brother Anthony, 2015), is framed within a detective story. It describes the character of Ahasuerus as a defender of humanity against unreasonable laws of the Jewish god, Yahweh. This leads to his confrontations with Jesus and withholding of aid to Jesus on the way to Calvary. The unpublished manuscript of the novel was written by a disillusioned theology student, Min Yoseop, who has been murdered. The text of the manuscript provides clues to solving the murder. There are strong parallels between Min Yoseop and Ahasuerus, both of whom are consumed by their philosophical ideals.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Yi |first1=Mun-yŏl |title=Son of man: A novel |date=2015 |publisher=Dalkey Archive Press |location=Victoria, Texas |isbn=978-1628971194 |edition=1st}}</ref>
