Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-08-21:

"Finally, this story was set in a dire time, a deadly serious time, and the world of the first-century Jew under the rule of the Romans would not have been one that easily inspired mirth. It's more than a small anachronism that I portray Joshua having and making fun, yet somehow, I like to think that while he carried out his sacred mission, Jesus of Nazareth might have enjoyed a sense of irony and the company of a wisecracking buddy. This story is not and never was meant to challenge anyone's faith; however, if one's faith can be shaken by stories in a humorous novel, one may have a bit more praying to do." -- Christopher Moore, Afterword to Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
