For me, it all began with Jeebus, who was made manifest to the world in the fifteenth episode of the eleventh season of The Simpsons. In this episode, titled “Missionary: Impossible,” Homer flees a mob of angry PBS telethon hosts by hopping a cargo plane to hide out as a missionary in Microasia. Realizing the gravity of his situation, Homer gets on his knees, clasps his hands together, and appeals in all humility to Jeebus: “Save me, Jeebus. Jeebus, where are you?”. . .
. . . hearing this contortion of the name, image, and historic effect of Jesus triggered something deep in the recesses of my stock orthodox images of the Christ. It is Homer’s great Davidic moment. In this episode, he has finally come to grips with the tragic implications of his slapstick self-reliance and turns to something grander and more meta than anything The Simpsons had ever offered its characters: Jeebus. For both Homer and myself, this moment had the texture of revelation. . . .
