The Singer tells the story of the “Singer” , an allusion to Jesus, who is proclaimed the “Troubadour” (Messiah) by the Earthmaker (God). Throughout the story, the Singer proclaims the Star Song, the Word of God, and is in constant conflict with the World Hater (Devil).
The Singer shares several similarities with the Gospel of Mark:
Mark’s portrait of Jesus is “The Suffering Servant” as shown through 8:31, 9:31& 9:12 where Jesus states that the Son of Man will suffer by man.
The story portrays this when the Singer is speaking to his mother about how he will suffer and die on “The Wall”, an allusion to crucifixion. (Pg 44 &45)

The first passage of The Singer (PG 7) is reminiscent of John 1:1-5. Both describe how the Singer and Jesus were one with God at the beginning of time. In John’s gospel, the Word represent the word of God, which is Jesus. In The Singer, the Song represents the word (song) of the Earthmaker, which is the Singer.
A major difference between the two works is that while The Singer is a story representation of Jesus; his teachings; and life, the Gospel of John is more like an explanation of stories rather than one itself.
