First time Jesus Christ ever died that I felt like I’d lost a friend. Told from the first-person viewpoint of his best friend Biff, who first sees Jesus/Joshua when he’s resurrecting his little brother’s lizard every time his little brother smashes said lizard to death with a rock. And then there is the scene where Biff invents espresso and Jesus/Joshua jitters around the Antioch marketplace on a caffeine high healing everyone. A superb book in every respect, and a challenging and I would add oddly comforting one for anyone raised in or around the Christian faith.
And you heard it here first: All angels are blond, all blonds are dumb, and therefore all angels are dumb. It’s the gospel according to Biff.
