Satire, hyperbole, lampooning, mockery, taunting, comical, ridiculous. Call the scriptures what you will, just don't call it a holy adytum. A sanctuary of the soul, unless that soul wish to be amused to the point of 'holy' risibility. A gelastic disposition, this should be a mandated staple of all who read, study, or swoon over the scriptures. If one observes the plain translated English text as it has been offered by scholars. Time & again numerously places, & occasions read in the Judaeo-Christian Bible transmogrify, causing a scratching of the head, & quizzical thoughts. This book records several of those thoughts in recognition that much of the world today has forsaken, & forgotten how to laugh at itself. Let alone some praised notional religious anecdotes. This is a storybook offering readers a harmless, & jocose account of several Standard Bible anecdotes to help remedy this. Those that are too often read, & believed as only topics of homiletics. Including parodied episodes from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Proverbs, Psalms, the book of Esther; the gospel of Matthew, Acts, several epistles, & a reevaluation of Revelation. A Glossary (an A-Z) of unusual English terms, & phrases to assist a reader, & bring to an audience a facetious account of several Bible tales. Also, are parodied versions of several Apocryphal texts, from Apostles Paul, Peter... The Bible, nobody should be able to evade upon observation the root & branch of its ventriloquism, its quisquous bumfuzzling antics.

Tales that are entertaining & easily relatable to modern people. In celebration of the weirdness of the stories, humanity, & Promethean human ingenuity. Enjoy this facetious edition of the Bible!
