Editor's Note:
This book attempts a spiritual biography of José Rizal—from the piety of his early youth, through his rejection of the divinity of Jesus Christ in early manhood, to his return to the sacraments a few hours before his execution. The author traces Rizal’s spiritual odyssey through a meticulous investigation of his writing, particularly of his novels in conjunction with his letters and poetry. What emerges is a Rizal few Filipinos know, the survivor of two personal crises, one dating 1883 and eventually finding expression in Noli me tangere, the other 1891 as Rizal finished El filibusterismo. It is a more human Rizal we come to know.
