The Uncensored Bible

We all know the story of how Eve was created from Adam's rib. But what if, perhaps, "rib" was a mistranslation and the body part she was really created from was Adam's penis bone? This would explain why human males don't have such a bone, unlike other male mammals. That's only one of many surprising and fun biblical twists readers will encounter in The Uncensored Bible . Here readers will learn that King David swore like a sailor, mandrakes were the biblical equivalent of Viagra r , Cain was depressed, and Joseph's "coat of many colors" might have actually been a dress (which may explain why his brothers picked on him). Authors Kaltner, McKenzie, and Kilpatrick bring some of the most outrageous speculations about the scriptures to light--all based on legitimate scholarship--revealing a stranger, bawdier side of the Good Book. The Uncensored Bible is a shocking, hilarious, and thought-provoking collection of the most recent, compelling, and racy interpretations of the Bible from the newest voices of Bible scholarship.
