Lamb, the gospel according to biff

 

Discussion Questions

1.	Did you find Lamb to be fairly true to the Bible as you know it? Did
you learn anything from Lamb?
2.	Early in the book, Biff writes about "little-boy love," describing
it as "...the cleanest pain I've ever known.  Love without desire, or
conditions, or limits - a pure and radiant glow in the heart that could make
me giddy and sad and glorious all at once." Do you understand what he's
saying?
3.	Would Joshua have made it to maturity without Biff? Do you think
Jesus had any human - not divine help in becoming who he was?
4.	Is Moore making a statement about historical facts in the Bible, or
about the value of friendship in general?
5.	Were you offended by this book in any way? There's so much here that
Moore could almost be called an "equal opportunity offender."
6.	Did you find that some parts bothered you, while others didn't? Did
he go too far, in any way? Not far enough?
7.	At one point, Biff asks, "Are all women stronger and better than
me?" and Josh answers, "Yes." Do you think Moore believes this?
8.	Do you think Christianity teaches this? From what you know about
other world religions, how does the role of women differ in each?
9.	Did you recognize any moments in your own development as you heard
the story of Christ's?
10.	Do you relate to the character of Josh? Does this story of "Josh"
make you feel any differently about Jesus as a human being?
11.	Is Moore making a statement about historical facts in the Bible, or
about the value of friendship in general?
