Jesus on the Day of Judgment
The Day of Judgment, more commonly known as the Last Judgment, is the final and eternal judgment of all living humans in every nation by God.
It draws inspiration from the Bible itself, which describes Jesus as separating all the people by his right and left hands. Those on his right are worthy of entering the Kingdom of Heaven, those on his left are cast into fire.CR 23

Special Abilities
Eternal and Uncreated: If Jesus is ever reduced to
0 hp, He is immediately subject to a resurrection
spell at the beginning of the next round and returns
at 50% of normal hit points.
Spells: Jesus can cast spells as a 20th-level cleric. In
His aspect as herald of the Day of Judgement, he
does not have access to domain spells or special
domain abilities.
Note also that in this iteration of Himself, which
emphasizes divine Righteousness rather than
Mercy, Jesus switches from the Neutral Good of
his earthly self to the pure Lawful Good of Heaven
Itself.
I can tell that they're going for the holy warrior angle here. I don't think that this really fits. Based upon the Biblical sources linked, it did not make mention of Jesus preparing for battle or using violence as part of his Judgment. Some of the offensive spells make sense for the wrath of God (Storm of Vengeance, Earthquake, etc.) but stuff like Blade Barrier, Power Word Kill, Prismatic Spray,
and Full Plate Armor and a Flaming Greatsword on top of that clearly portray him as a holy death machine!
Oh well, at least this Jesus is smart and can fly worth a damn (yes, Fly is a skill in Pathfinder). He's also got a kick-ass Stealth modifier; don't know how that fits with his character, but this stat block doesn't come off as the most authentic one we've seen.
Post-Tribulation Prince of Peace Jesus
Basically, there is a belief of Christian eschatology which posits that Jesus will return to Earth a second time during the End Time, or Great Tribulation. This draws heavily upon the Book of Revelations,
where God comes to Earth to live among the people.CR 25

Special Abilities
Eternal and Uncreated: If Jesus is ever reduced to
0 hp, He is immediately subject to a resurrection
spell at the beginning of the next round and returns
at 50% of normal hit points.
Healing Aura: Within 100’ of Jesus, all healing,
natural or magical, is multiplied by 3. Also, all
creatures (including undead) have regeneration
10 and, if currently affected by poison or disease,
may make a save against that poison or disease
at +25 at the beginning of each round, before any
damage or other effects occur for that round. All
creatures affected by ability score damage regain
lost ability points at a rate of 1 per round per ability
Peaceful Aura: Within 100’ of Jesus, any character
or creature that would make an attack, use an ability
or cast a spell that would cause 1 hp or more of
damage must make a Will save (DC 50) in order to
carry out the attack, ability or spell casting. “Inanimate”
sources of damage (i.e. fires or traps) simply
fail to do any damage whatsoever. All Diplomacy
skill checks whose aim is to reduce conflict and/
or avert harm are at a +20 to succeed.
Check out that Charisma score.
Now this stat block makes a lot more sense. It's built around a concrete theme: complete and utter pacifism. In God's New Kingdom, there is no more violence, pain, and suffering, and Prince of Peace Jesus has abilities specifically tailored to eliminate these sources of harm.
His feat selection feels uninspired and limited, like the authors just said "let's just load him up with defensive stuff." I'd have gone for Leadership, Skill Focus (Diplomacy, Heal), and various healing and social stuff.
His Diplomacy modifier is wrong (+40), at odds with his Total Charisma (which has +100 if it has game stats at all).
And that's it. That's all the Jesuses.
Final Thoughts
Like the GOP Bestiary, I felt that they should have included more examples. Some of the design decisions for the stat blocks felt off, and I was sort of hoping that they'd go more for "alternate" Jesus interpretations in the sense of the Jefferson Bible (by far the most unique and interesting take in this product), but I figure one can only go so far.
I can't really see this being used in most games; it's really just a novelty purchase, but it's honest about what it's selling.
Would I recommend it? Well, aside from the stat blocks it has a foreward for the design decision and some Biblical and Jefferson quotes for each Jesus. 3 bucks is chump change either way, so if you like the idea and can spare the cash, support the creator if you're that kind of guy/girl.
Next time, The Book of Harlots!
