The Lesser-Read Bible

A warrior wins the hand of a princess with a bounty of foreskins; a skeleton bestows life to a corpse; a throne is endangered by revenge for incestuous rape; a sundial's shadow reverses on command; a demon attacks a family; priests part the waters of a river; a donkey converses with a soothsayer; a king hires a witch to contact a dead advisor; a sacred star plummets to Earth; an ancient race of giants is exterminated; a neglected widow seduces her father-in-law and becomes pregnant; a strongman poses a sticky riddle; thousands meet death for a mispronunciation; the dismemberment of a murdered mistress signals war; a woman drives a peg through the skull of a sleeping general; soldiers perish in atmospheric conflagrations; a holy man summons beasts to slaughter children; a prince is slain in mid-air-believe it or not, these incidents are available in a single book: the Bible. The Lesser-Read Bible is a collection of esoteric scripture, with commentary and related information, divided into twelve chapters: History, Repetition and Inconsistency, Laws and Curses, Murder and Mutilation, Sex, Women, Sneaky People, Tough Guys, Hard Times, Also-Rans, the Occult, and Celestial Phenomena.
