The Bible, The Complete Word of God (Abridged)
The Bible, The Complete Word of God (Abridged)
In the beginning there was chaos. But why stop there? It may seem hard to believe, but now the Good Book gets even better!
Whether you are Catholic or Atheist, Muslim or Jew, Protestant or Presbyterian, you’re sure to find something to amuse you in The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). You might even learn a few things too! In this affectionate, irreverent rollercoaster ride from fig leaves to Final Judgment, nine performers tackle the great theological questions, like: Did Adam and Eve have navels? Did Moses really look like Charlton Heston? And why isn’t the word “phonetic” spelled the way it sounds?
