This was one of the best books I have ever read, and a statement like that is not an easy one for me to make. This epic quest lasts many years, just enough in fact to fill the missing parts of the Bible, and covers their return to Galilee where Joshua and Biff round up the faithful to spread the good word of the Coming of the Kingdom.
From bandits on the Silk Road to the demon named Catch in the city of Kabul, to the horrific festival of Kali in India, to using Biff to learn about sin by making him sleep with as many harlots as humanly possible. Along the way they encounter all manner of strange and exciting things. What ensues is one of the greatest buddy stories of all time as the two young lads journey from Galilee to the city of Antioch and then east along the Silk Road all the way to India. But Biff is not about to let his best pal face certain peril and adventure alone. Joshua decides to set out on a quest to find the three wise men who were present at his birth and see if, since they knew he was coming and traveled so far to see him, they could teach him what he needed to know to be the messiah and king of the Jews. He arrives about 12 years too late to herald the coming of the messiah, but does get Joshua to realize that he doesn’t know the first thing about being the savior of mankind. Unfortunately for Josh and Biff, the angel was Raziel, and he is not the brightest halo in the Heavenly Host.
