Raziel tells Josh to seek out the Three Wise Men, for they will guide him on his journey to enlightenment.īiff tells Josh he’s going with him, basically because Josh is unable to lie to keep himself safe: One day, Josh is feeling particularly despondent about not knowing exactly what his purpose in life is, when Raziel the angel visits them – thirteen years too late. Josh’s specialty was bringing lizards back to life after his little brother would squish them. Josh grew up knowing he was the Son of God, because his mother Mary would tell him so. Biff and Josh apprenticed together with Biff’s father, and Josh experimented with his powers. “There’s a reason Biff isn’t mentioned in the other books, you know? He’s a total –”īiff’s Gospel tells us how the two of them grew up together in Nazareth. The book is written in a sort of framed way Raziel, the Stupidest Angel (which I will read eventually), resurrects Biff to get him to write his own gospel. … comes from our slang word for a smack upside the head, something that my mother said I required at least daily from an early age. So Christopher Moore gave Joshua a best pal – Levi who is called Biff, which Stuff had to happen! Even Christ had to go through an awkward teenage-dom everyone does. But from birth to thirty is completely glossed over. The Bible discusses the birth of Christ, and then skips ahead to the teachings of and persecution of Christ. Also, I’m going to refer to Jesus Christ as Biff does in the book – as Joshua.Īnd now – Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal.īasically, what Lamb does, is take the missing section of Joshua’s life and gives it substance. So just my loving this book doesn’t mean I’m going to become all religious all of a sudden. If it’s not in those three movies, chances are I don’t know anything about it. In fact, all of my biblical knowledge comes from this book, my own personal Rifftrax editions of The Ten Commandments, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. With the addendum of “Christ’s Childhood Pal,” I would hope one would realize this book is probably going to tell a story about Jesus Christ. One more thing before I get into the book.

And if you’ve returned a couple of times, thanks for that too.

Thank you for being here since the beginning, or by finding me randomly on the internet. Even I know that, and I can recite “Bad Blood.”) (Unless you’ve been dared by one of your best friends because she thinks it’s funny when you read/watch bad things, which yes, it is, BUT STILL IF YOU HAVEN’T READ DECADENT PLEASE DO NOT START NOW) I guess what I’m saying is, guys: vampires don’t really exist. YOU DON’T WANT TO READ DECADENT, I PROMISE YOU THAT. But not as much as the large multitude of people who are trying to read Decadentonline for free. (Sidenote: Quite a few of you want to know if Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter was fiction or non-fiction, which worries me, to be honest. But even to those who come to this site by Googling rare search terms like, “ bill bryson williamsburg admission“, “ russell edgington vs emperor palpatine,” or “ picasso enjoying the fine weather in the south of france“, I really appreciate your visits. I don’t know who you are, dear readers – I’m sure I know some of you I’m sure one of you is probably my mom. I get distracted very easily, and the idea of keeping myself to some sort of schedule is kind of panic-inducing (and clearly I’ve done so well with that aspect of it, seeing as how I finished reading this in March), but ANYWAY (drink!) – One night, I got curious as to how many books I’ve read since the inception of That’s What She Read, and spent about an hour counting and going through my records (because yes, I’ve said this before and I’m sure I’ll say it again before the year’s out, I have records), and then figured out how many I had to go until I hit an important-sounding number, and then planned the books I was going to read (allowing for some flexibility) until I hit the big 200, because I wanted that review to be for a very special book.īut before I get into that very special book, let me just say this: when I started this thing about five years ago, I never – never – thought I’d stick with it this long. This is what I’ve been planning on since about oh, this time last year. Before I get into this, I just want to say: Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is the 200th book I have reviewed for this site.
