    <body><![CDATA[Silly adventure story draped around an imaginative telling of Jesus' missing years. Before he started his Messiah duties, it turns out that Jesus - who goes by Joshua - studied philosophy and religion while journeying to modern-day Afghanistan, India and the Mediterrianean. These journeys are chronicled by Biff, Jesus' sex-and-violence-obsessed best buddy. Biff is also an undiscovered genius, who invents matches and discovers the principles of gravity but is never recognized for these talents. The Gospel is written in the 21st Century, about 2000 years too late, when an oafish angel resurrects Biff and imprisons him in a small hotel room until the story is told.]]></body>
