About this ebook

Picking up where Moses popped off, The MisreadBible: Joshua continues the blasphemously brilliant retelling of the Bible with a fresh take on the blood-soaked conquest of Canaan. With the Israelites finally poised to enter the Promised Land, the unenviable task of leading them now falls to Joshua.

Alongside his overzealous sidekick Caleb, a host of battle-unready Israelites, and an increasingly erratic deity, Joshua must conquer cities, divvy up land, and somehow manage to sleep at night.

From the walls of Jericho to the allocation of goat-infested hill country, this irreverent parody dives headfirst into the morally murky waters of holy war, all while skewering the contradictions, loopholes, and divine double standards of the original text.
