...Blessed Mother is one of the strengths of the show. She takes snapshots at the Last Supper, genuflects compulsively after the Resurrection, and belts out "The Dove that Done Me Wrong" -she says of her unborn Child, "Well, it'll either be some sort of strange bird, or the Savior of the World" -with an eerie operatic raunchiness. Kay Tolbert's Mary Magdalene is a good-natured whore; her number, "You Can't Get a Man with a Prayer" ("God is just an abstraction/I need a little action "), places her metaphysically about midway between Wittgenstein and Melina Mercouri.

With his mumbling speech and rumpled suits, the 51-year-old scholar may not have suggested the image of an urban savior. But Bowker came to the problem with impressive credentials. Born in Winchendon, Mass., he was a respected mathematical statistician with an undergraduate degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. from Columbia. As dean of the Stanford graduate school for five years, he had pushed his faculty to the top in national ratings and drawn the attention of New York City's board of higher education...
