Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bible by Jonathan Goldstein

 Out of print, but buy it from abebooks.co.uk  


These witty retellings of Bible stories help you to look again at what actually is within the text and what is received as an interpretation handed down alongside the text.


Adam and Eve is probably the strongest, maybe because it is perhaps the most familiar tale and so the playfulness resonates most easily, but also perhaps because the Biblical account is slight – there is the most room for the imaginative – both for Goldstein and indeed for “tradition”.
