"James, let's see how well you can saw that in half blindfolded." "James, let's see if that camel is ticklish." Dellagiarino Feriend gives us a totally new side of Jesus - snarky older brother and mischievous uncle - from the perspective of long-suffering younger brother James. It's a lighthearted viewpoint that emphasizes Jesus both as a human person, and ultimately as someone his disciples would follow into death. I've had Dellagiarino Feriend's play atop my reading list for a long time. It more than lived up to my excitement and greatly exceeded my expectations. Oh, and camels? Not ticklish, apparently. ”
