Driving Jesus is a cross between Don Quixote and a lost gospel. In it the risen Messiah must yet again appear on a roadway to a contemporary, cantankerous zealot named Paul in order to deflect him from his hare-brained assassination plot.
Never mind that this Paul, who shares the zeal if not the skills of his New Testament namesake, has no clue how to actually accomplish an assassination, and no weapon, and no assurance that his old Lincoln Town Car can get him across the country.
Interrupted by a series of fateful interventions and detours, he and his deific young passenger drive from one strange yet vaguely familiar encounter after another to the light at the end of the road.
