Characters

Biff (Levi) - This character is the childhood pal. Always quick with a wisecrack, this character writes his gospel about the incidents leading up to the ministry that leads to a crucifixion.

Joshua - Born the Son of God but not yet known as the Messiah, this character carries a heavy burden. He must somehow convince enough people that he is the Messiah, and he must learn the ancient wisdom that will make him the Messiah, a man capable of accepting an early death by the horribly painful method of crucifixion.
