Joshua / Joseph F. Girzone 271 p.

Joshua, a simple carpenter from Bethlehem, sets ups up in Auburn.  As he brings to live Biblical figures, Moses for a synagogue, St. Peter for an Episcopal church and another for the Pentecostal church, etc., he talks about his beliefs, the role of God in one's life, and some dilemmas caused by church rules.  Children flock to Joshua.  People with problems come to talk, including a young priest with a drinking problem.  Joshua raises questions that bring him to the attention of religions leaders.  Joshua is called to the highest church authorities to explain.  This is a modern day parable set in 20th century times.
