![]() ![]() ![]() It’s more like a top-notch comedy act and, as such, everything is fair game for being mocked or exaggerated for comic effect. It’s satire, but it’s not biting, nor is it done with the intent of exposing any hypocrisy or shortcomings of Jesus or Christianity as a religion. Biff’s gospel does include a portion of Jesus’ preaching and sermons, leading up to his crucifixion, but the majority describes their collective childhood and growing up, as well as their adventures travelling through Asia.Īs such, the book pokes gentle fun about Jesus’ story and all the various deeds and miracles Jesus is said to have performed. ![]() The angel Raziel has been charged to raise Biff from the dead and have him write his own gospel of Jesus’ life to go along with all the ones previously written by the other disciples. Lamb is Biff’s story as Jesus’ (otherwise known as Joshua, since that’s what he’d actually be called in Judea) best friend. Honestly, a part of me wishes this were an actual gospel, because then the Bible would be a lot more interesting than it is now. Other words I might use would be “astute”, “intelligent”, and “plain good fun”. If I were to describe this book in one word, it’d be “hilarious”. ![]()
