Eli

A popular journalist is on his way to interview a famous physicist about parallel universes when he's in a car accident, resulting in very severe brain trauma. When he regains consciousness, he is in 1970's Santa Monica when Eli is born. In this timeline, Jesus was never born. Over time, it becomes clear that Eli is the Messiah and the journalist (who is not Christian, not interested in anything spiritual) follows him on his journey. This story about the modern Messiah brings home the message of Christianity in modern English, as well as details what Christ's personality might have been like.
