Showing Jesus appearing to make snappy comments goes over the line You know, I've been reading a lot of comments on the show and Jesus is one of the best liked features. The difference of perceptions on things like this is guaranteed to fascinate me. I am reminded of my experience of seeing Jesus Christ Superstar when it first came out. I saw it at Constitution Hall. I was amazed that such a play would ever made. I assumed it would be wildly thought blasphemous. I was further amazed to see clusters of nuns in the audience all atwitter. (That was back when you could distinguish nuns by their attire.) They were loving it. My nuns wouldn't have approved, I don't think. I scratched my head. I liked the Jesus character in The Book of David best of anything in the show. I liked his style. And I liked that he wasn't authoritarian but served as a sounding board. This is a quote from an Episcopal priest: "Jesus (played by Garret Dillahunt) appears in the show, looking as he is usually depicted, with a white robe, long hair, and beard, and he--a confidante visible only to Daniel--comes off better than most of the other characters. It's not God who is mocked in "The Book of Daniel": it's everybody else." beliefnet.com The Episcopal Diocese of Washington liked it enough to create a blog for it. blog.edow.org
