Returning to Galilee, he calls together a posse of twelve random dudes and begins his fatherβs mission to preach the Kingdom of God (whatever that means).

J. R. Eldridge is a British satirical fiction author with a fascination with religion and the absurd mythology that surrounds it. Raised Christian, he attended a C of E first school and a Salvation Army Sunday school. He lost his belief in his early teens, but he remained intrigued by the Bible and studies textual criticism in his spare time.
Growing up, he was an avid reader, spending his evenings reading the books of C. S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Roald Dahl when he was supposed to be sleeping. He developed his love of parody from listening to Weird Al Yankovic. Heβs been writing stories and poetry from an early age.
