The story continues with Josh’s ministry, his adoption of disciples and apostles, and finally his crucifixion.īiff is fiercely loyal, incredibly funny and very human in this story. With all of this knowledge, Josh returns to Israel to take his place as the Messiah. Finally, they go to India to meet with Melchior, who teaches them the intricacies of Hinduism and yoga. After spending several years with him, they journey to China to meet Gaspar, who lives in a Buddhist monastery where the young men learn martial arts and meditation. Biff joins him, and together, they travel to meet the three wise men who came to the manger when Josh was born.įirst, they meet Balthasar, who instructs the boys about the teachings of Tao and Confucius. At the age of 13, Josh decides to journey out to learn more about his place as the Messiah. It’s that gap that Christopher Moore decides to fill with a very humorous story about Jesus’s younger years, told by his fictional best pal, Biff.īiff befriends Jesus (who goes by his Jewish nickname, Josh, in this story) when they were six years old.
What was Christ like as a child, teenager or a young man? The Bible documents much about his birth, his ministry and his death, but there’s a sizeable gap about his younger years. If you don’t like fictional tales about Christ, if you want to smite Dan Brown, if you believe that He could not have cussed, procreated or gotten drunk, then skip this novel. The author is not proposing or even theorizing about Christ’s youth.
