NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A talking Jesus doll is due in stores in May, along with versions of Moses and the Virgin Mary, according to a published report Tuesday.

The New York Post reports that the foot-tall dolls can recite up to 33 Biblical verses at the push of button in the doll's back. The three dolls are the first of a series of dolls based on bible characters, according to the paper. Dolls of Esther, Ruth and David are also planned, the paper reports.

The company that is producing the dolls is Messengers of Faith, which is a unit of privately held Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co.

Joshua Livingston, a partner in Messengers of Faith, told the paper the company hopes to unveil dolls representing up to five Bible characters each year.

"I'm Jewish and people ask me why I'm selling Christian dolls. Religion is universal, my wife's Catholic — and faith is for everyone," Livingston told the paper.

The religious dolls will cost $24.99, according to the Messengers of Faith Web site. They will have period clothing, such as Jesus sandals and veils for the Virgin Mary, as well as movable limbs and hands that can grip objects.

I'm no Christian, but isn't this blasphemy or what not ?

It'd only be blasphemy if they made a doll out of Jesus' more popular brother, Santa Claus.

Ahhhh....I wouldn't call it blasphemy really. I'd go with cheesy, silly and over-commerical.

I think it would be pretty cool to re-enact the moneychangers in the temple getting PWNED by Jesus...
