For people who would like to read the Bible - if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and its interminable passages of poetry, genealogy, and law, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each. Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, this is a hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons. Irreverent yet faithful, for those who want to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says. Mark Russell lives in Portland, Oregon, where he writes and occasionally draws cartoons. Shannon Wheeler is the creator of the comic book Too Much Coffee Man.

Wheeler, Shannon.
