Publisher's Synopsis

A controversial and highly humorous new presentation of classic incidents in the Bible.

With all the word plays and cheeky sensationalism of a tabloid newspaper, The Tabloid Bible, is a retelling of the Bible that's a lot of fun. From 'Arking Mad!' - Father of Three Builds Bumper Boat in his Backyard' to 'Eunuch Calls for Cut' this is a lighthearted look at the world's most popular publication.

'Did Aliens Cause Multi-Chariot pile up?' asks The Scroll when the Damascus Road was closed after Saul's blinding experience.

Nick Page has been careful not to question the authenticity of the Bible, but he does consider it robust enough to stand up to some affectionate humour. Complete with an agony aunt, the weather and sport (chariot racing tips of course), The Tabloid Bible, makes a great Christmas gift.

Can you understand this strap line 'Dream Reader Gets Top Post'? And what other headline could be used for the three Old Testament characters who survived being thrown into a fiery furnace: 'Phew - not a scorcher.'

With a heritage stretching back nearly 200 years, HarperCollins is one of the world's foremost English-language publishers, offering the best quality content right across the spectrum, from cutting-edge contemporary fiction to digital hymnbooks and pretty much everything in between. In the UK, the Glasgow-based William Collins & Sons was founded in 1819 and published a range of bibles, atlases and dictionaries, later including classic authors HG Wells, Agatha Christie, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. The original Harper Brothers Company was established in New York City in 1817 and over the years published the works of Mark Twain, the Bronte Sisters, Thackeray, Dickens, John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. In 1987, Harper & Row, as it had then become, was acquired by News Corporation. The worldwide group was formed following News Corp's 1990 acquisition of William Collins & Sons. Today we publish some of the world's foremost authors, from Nobel prize-winners to worldwide bestsellers recent successes including the Booker-winning Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel, and George RR Martin's blockbusting A Song of Ice and Fire series.
