Andrew Lloyd Webber discusses his intent in making Jesus Christ Superstar in these recent article:

Webber himself is actually politically conservative, though not particularly religious.
He has said many times tha JCS is not really directly about the person of Jesus than about how Jesus was/is perceived by others. It is about the last week in the life of Jesus as viewed through through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
More specifically, one of the main questions explored in JCS is the role of Judas, whether he was fated to assume his notorious role and whether, in a manner of speaking, Judas was an instrument of God’s plan. Those are questions that have been explored for two millenia by mainstream Christian theologians.
That’s the way I always viewed it. Good music, thought-provoking, but not intended to be a depiction of the Gospels.
Not the light, but a reflection of the light. Reflections, even distorted ones, testify in their own way to the brightness of the true light.
Webber is a serial plagiarist.
