This book will be of interest to those who would like to know more about the bible but have little time to read the entire book themselves, either because they find it boring or difficult to understand. It will also be of interest to anyone brought up in the Christian faith, accustomed to hearing only certain selective biblical stories, mainly promoting a loving caring God and a kind compassionate Christ.
It contains over 300 of the most thought provoking and profound questions one would ever want to ask a vicar, pastor or street preacher and is guaranteed to leave them fumbling for answers. It exposes the irrational, often bloody nature of the bible. It asks simple but penetrating questions concerning Satan and his relationship with God. It examines the bizarre nature of God and his strange behaviour throughout the bible. It probes into the life of Jesus, his ministry and his family, in a manner which few people, even Christians, ever stop to think about. It highlights the absurdity of stories such as Noah's Ark and looks at the irrational nature of the biblical creation story. It is a book which will test faith, challenge opinion and get everyone who reads it thinking in a way they have never done before.
The first chapter describes the author's journey from being an ex-born again Christian street preacher to atheist, regarding the biblical God.
The book is unique in that it is set out in short interesting paragraphs which have been kept simple and to the point. No detailed tedious analysis of scripture is required and it is interspersed with thirty-four of the author's own cartoon drawings, depicting various biblical stories, some amusing, some provocative, others quite shocking, but all graphically bring home the point in question. Anyone remotely interested in the bible and what it contains will find this book difficult to set down.
All cartoons and questions are the original work of the author.
