A hilarious re-imagining of the heroes of the Old Testament for a modern worldand 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: wouldnt 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.
