Whether or not you believe it actually happened, the Bible is a fascinating story, full of great characters, epic battles and incredible journeys. There's sex, there's love, there's betrayal, there's revenge. All that without any of the "sayeth's" or "unto's" or "thou's" that might have scared you off last time.
You're already familiar with its most famous characters - Noah, Moses, David and Goliath. Why not get to know Joshua, Elijah and Judah Maccabee? Seriously, some of the most badass heroes in literature can be found right there in the Old Testament.
So if you've always had a passing interest in the Bible but found the language to be way too dense, The New Old Testament has gone ahead and stripped out anything nonessential, keeping only the best, filthiest, most brutally horrifying parts. Especially the parts they leave out in church.
Jack was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. He lives on coffee and grapefruit juice and likes to believe if there is a God, he's got a sense of humour. He previously developed an animated web series called 'Come Again?' which followed a pair of private detectives, one of whom was Jesus Christ - only Jesus was an angry, bigoted, hard-drinking asshole.
If the very thought of that made you tense up, then this probably isn't the book for you. If, on the other hand, you found yourself smiling, or at the very least, raising an eyebrow, you just might be in the right place.
