Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible! is a book written by author and radio presenter Jonathan Goldstein. The book is a comedic retelling of the Old Testament stories such as Adam and Eve, Samson, Noah, and David and Goliath. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible! includes a story narrated by Joseph, who is skeptical of believing in Immaculate Conception, which was broadcast on the "Holiday Spectacular" episode of This American Life.

Review of 'Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bible!' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The Bible! suffers from the sin of repetition, especially if you read more than one story a day. The stories all have the same deadpan wit, which becomes a trifle monotonous. There's a lot of good in Goldstein's stories - at times, he achieves the transcendent satire of early period Woody Allen at his most surreal - but when placed all together, they can be exhausting.
