Non-Fiction | Humor
A hilarious re-imagining of the heroes of the Old Testament
for a modern world and the neurotic, demanding reader.In the
beginning...there was humor. Sure, its the foundation for
much of Western morality and the cornerstone of world
literature. But lets face it: the Bible always needed
punching up. Plus, it raised quite a few questions that a
modern world refuses to ignore any longer: wouldn't it be
boring to live inside a whale? How did Joseph explain Marys
pregnancy to the guys at work? Who exactly was the
megalomaniacal foreman who oversaw the construction of the
Tower of Babel? And honestly, what was Cains problem? In
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible!, Jonathan Goldstein
re-imagines and recasts the Bibles greatest heroes with
depth, wit, and snappy dialogue. This is the Bible populated
by angry loners, hypochondriacs, and reluctant prophets who
fear for their sanity. Basically, a Bible that readers can
finally, genuinely relate to.
