Let's Read Violent Bible Stories: Macabre Passages from Humankind's Most Popular Book - Paperback

A collection of strange and sordid tales dutifully retold from the pages of the Hebrew & Greek Bibles.

Advisory: since this book is based on the Bible, it contains adult themes, crude language, and near-constant violations of "Judeo-Christian" values.

Synopsis: Eternal-Master made the world but it quickly became hostile territory, ruled by his Adversary. And for the first few thousand years, Eternal-Master didn't even have his own country. Then he introduced himself to a family in a place called the Lowlands. They grew into a nation of millions, wandered as refugees, reinvaded their homeland, split into two states, were brutally displaced by outside empires, and eventually allowed back into the Lowlands. But from then on, Eternal-Master's country was supervised by a parade of foreign powers that were all repulsed by the local culture and religion. This was when Eternal-Master's people wrote the Law, Prophets, and Writings (which we know as the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament). Then Eternal-Master's long-promised god-king arrived. His name was Master's-Rescue and he got a lot of attention in and around the Lowlands, but only a handful of committed followers-until he died, and came back, and then left again. Over the next few decades, his sect compiled their history and letters (which we call the Greek Bible or New Testament).
