Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff/Tear Jerker

Lamb, by Christopher Moore. It's the brilliant, hilarious, thought-provoking story of the life of Jesus, as told by his degenerate best friend. You know what has to happen at the end. It will still break your heart.

""Why are we having Passover with [a different sect of Judaism]? "Because at their Passover, they don't kill a lamb.""
 * The scene where Joshua (Jesus) comes back to the monastery This is one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the entire book.
 * "No more blood. No more blood. No more blood."
 * The symbolism of the lamb/sacrifice and how "lamb" shows up repeatedly. The scene with young Biff at the temple comes to mind, as does the apostles' celebration of Passover.


 * Biff's reaction to Judas's betrayal.
 * Biff and Mary's plan and hope to save Joshua at the end, and how it didn't work out.
