The two boyhood friends, now young men, return to Israel, where Joshua begins his ministry.
Biff and Joshua break up a celebration to Kali in India and save the lives of many Untouchable children. He meets an abominable snowman in the mountains near Gaspar's monastery and becomes friends with the almost human beast. Joshua is the only man on earth who can put the demon where he belongs, and he does so just in the nick of time. Biff releases a demon in Balthesar's fortress that ends the very old man's life. The journey also involves high adventure. He also enjoys quite a few sexual adventures, but Joshua cannot partake due to his status as the Son of God. Biff learns kung fu and how to make explosives. Gaspar brings Joshua to the level of total Buddhist enlightenment, and Melchior directs the Messiah in the ways of doing miracles, such as multiplying food. Balthesar, from his fortress near the town of Kabul in Persia, teaches Joshua ancient Chinese wisdom.
Biff accompanies Joshua on his quest to visit the three Magi named Balthesar, Gaspar and Melchior. A rabbi suggests that the Magi who had visited during his birth may be able to help. All he can do at this stage is to resurrect lizards and people for a few moments. The man who delivers the pizza is ironically named Jesus.īiff writes about his childhood experiences with Joshua and how Joshua does not know how to be the Messiah. They share a single room and seldom leave. Both the angel and Biff find the modern world confusing and frightening, but they both like pizza that they order from room service in their hotel. Under Raziel's supervision, Biff must write his gospel to explain what Jesus, whose Hebrew name is Joshua, did before he started preaching. Heaven assigns the task to raise Biff, a childhood friend of Jesus Christ, from the dead to an angel named Raziel.
