Fiction
An adult parody of children's Bible-story books. Because it
is extremely accurate -- even anatomically accurate -- in
depicting the often shocking tales that make the bible an
ethicist's nightmare Illustrated Stories From The Bible can
be recommended for children no more than one could recommend
the Bible itself. Each tale (illustrated by cartoonist Kathy
Demchuck) is told in the wide-eyed, isn't-God-wonderful
manner of the books usually employed to entice children into
churches. Each story is followed, however, by a
rationalist's ethical critique that draws upon the best
modern scholarship concerning the Bible. Stories include:
Elisha and the Bears; Jephtha's Daughter; Little Gershom's
Penis; Uriah the Hittite; David's Census; Moses Helps God
Understand; Slaughter Of the Midianites; Famine In Samaria;
Where Giants Came From; Wives For the Benjamites; and When
Jesus Drowned the Pigs.
