Jahbb, an African Bushman; Jophus, a woman of Moses' time; and Jesus. In this book, God has given the fourth J. Transported through time, in a series of vivid dreams, the narrator, a modern prophet, meets the three previous Js who introduce him to the history of human faith. The true messiah, J is born in an apartment on Perry Street in New York City to be raised far from the public eye. The Vatican sends three representatives to raise the assumed Child, Bob Duffy, born down the hall. Bob and his family are rushed into a life of luxury and coddled by the Catholic Church. A reporter and a priest commit themselves to fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. Told in four parts, the story observes the decline of the world, the raising of the True Child, and the meaning of life.
