More DescriptionThe Politically Correct Guide to the Bibleis a hilariously fresh take on an old testament. In this laugh-out-loud celebration of the Good Book, the most familiar Bible stories are recast according to the strict notions of political correctness. Noah builds an ark because of floods triggered by global warming. In league with their helpful serpent companion, Adam and Eve stage a righteous revolt against their patriarchal oppressor. After a consciousness-raising journey with a whale, Jonah founds Greenpeace. Jesus faces a medical malpractice suit for performing miracles without a license. And in "The Ten Recommendations," Moses and a team of advisers craft ten nonbinding suggestions for attaining an enhanced feeling of well-being. In this alternate biblical universe, David and Goliath bond on the battlefield, Cain and Abel come to terms with their sibling rivalry, and the apostles struggle with diversity. From Samson to St. Peter, from Eden to Sodom and Gomorrah, no proverb, psalm, or parable is spared.
