"In this unexpectedly delightful little book, two Bible professors and a journalist unpack some of the more outrageous interpretations of the Hebrew Bible." —Publishers Weekly Did you know:
- that King David swore like a sailor? - that the Book of Ecclesiastes encourages drinking, especially beer? - that mandrakes were the biblical equivalent of Viagra®? - that the law of Moses prescribes bikini waxing? - that Joseph's "coat of many colors" might have actually been a dress? - that Eve might have been created, not from Adam's rib, but from something a little lower down? Discover all this, and more, in The Uncensored Bible. "God's Word on sex . . . If you can remember scouring your parents' paperbacks in search of their spiciest pages, you can understand the impulse behind The Uncensored Bible." —Time "Good-natured ribbing of the Good Book . . . scholars give scripture a 'bawdy' spin." —USA Today "Makes for some interesting (not to mention steamy) reading. Euphemisms, puns, and sarcasm abound." —Religion News Service "Based on the best contemporary scholarship of the Bible—but funny as hell! The Uncensored Bible finally reveals what your Sunday school teacher was afraid to tell you or did not know." —Jonathan L. Reed, author of The HarperCollins Visual Guide to the New Testament "Smart, savvy, scholarly, and funny, all at once." —Jonathan Kirsch, author of Moses: A Life
