Maybe Jesus was joking, the disciples didn't know what they were
doing and the New Testament is a lot funnier than you might think.
You would think it weird if someone suddenly ascended into heaven,
right? Reading between the lines, do we detect a touch of rivalry
between Peter and John? And surely the lack of parables in the
latter's mystical tome is simply crying out to be redressed . . .
In this sparklingly witty book, BBC sitcom writer James Cary gives
us a new and liberating way of looking at the gospel as he
entertainingly relates it to a modern context, with references
ranging from Charles Dickens to The Vicar of Dibley. Cheerfully
playing around with the text, he takes the Bible seriously but
allows us to laugh at our own petty vanities and foibles - and be
enlightened in the process. The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer
is ideal for anyone wanting to liven up their Bible reading and
looking for new ways to be thrilled by this sacred text. It's also
perfect for priests, pastors, youth leaders and all those involved
in ministry and giving sermons, as James Cary shows using comedy
and humour is a brilliant way to communicate the gospel. Warm,
funny and full of brilliant insight and Christian humour, The
Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer will make you laugh out loud
and shake your head in awe. You'll never read the Bible the same
way again.
