The Lamb - The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Brother

If you, religious or not, think you already know everything about Jesus Christ, that you've studied the Gospels from cover to cover, and that you attend religious institutions, The Lamb is a must-read. But if you haven't studied the Bible, don't know it well, or identify with religious elements, know that Christopher Moore has you covered, too. Gifted with priceless humor, The Lamb paints a faithful portrait of the world in which Christ lived. The author changed details that, as he himself describes, would make a difference in a work of fiction. He added touches of sexuality, philosophy of life, relationships, and the dichotomy between reality and fiction. A classic in reverse, as it presents themes that are simultaneously delicate and irreverent. The Lamb is a controversial work that portrays Moore's personality and his humorous interpretations of "the stories" of Jesus. There is no religious commitment in The Lamb, but rather a commitment to laughter, a well-constructed text, and quality entertainment.
