“Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal” is a daring and uproariously funny novel by Christopher Moore that fills in the gaps of Jesus’ life story as told by his irreverent best friend, Biff. While the Bible chronicles Jesus’ birth and later years, this book unveils the previously untold adventures of the Messiah’s formative years.
Biff, resurrected in the modern day to share his account, takes readers on a wild ride through Jesus’ unrecorded years. From embarking on remarkable journeys and performing miracles to learning kung fu and even dabbling in corpse reanimation, Biff’s tale is as outrageous as it is entertaining. Along the way, they encounter demons, magic, and a fair share of attractive women, including the devoted “Maggie,” Mary of Magdala.
With his signature wit and audacity, Moore delivers a fresh and provocative take on one of history’s most well-known figures. “Lamb” stands out as a hilarious and daring novel that rivals the works of Tom Robbins and Carl Hiaasen. Despite Biff’s unwavering loyalty and attempts to protect his friend, he is aware that he may not be able to save Joshua from his ultimate tragic fate. Prepare for a truly unique and side-splitting journey through the life of Christ as you’ve never seen it before.
