The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

A lot of fun and, in the end, quite conservative,

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (Broché)
A wonderful, funny idea, and well developed. Christ and his pal Biff go East and pick up a lot of Hindu and Buddhist secrets (Biff mainly of the type we would call "Tantric" these days) before returning to the Holy Land to spread the Word. In the end, it's a confirmation of the official scriptures against the da Vinci Code etc theory that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were lovers, had children and started a dynasty. Some readers may be upset by his depiction of precocious sexuality. Indeed, the author sees the need to justify this in the afterword, claiming that it is historically warranted. Perhaps, overall, the message is somewhat Pythonesque - enjoy the state of being a human with all of its weaknesses and inanities, and stop being afraid of life and death.
