Picking up where Moses popped off, The MisreadBible: Joshua continues the blasphemously brilliant retelling of the Bible with a fresh take on the blood-soaked conquest of Canaan.

With the Israelites finally poised to enter the Promised Land, the unenviable task of leading them now falls to Joshua. Alongside his overzealous sidekick Caleb, a host of battle-unready Israelites, and an increasingly erratic deity, Joshua must conquer cities, divvy up land, and somehow manage to sleep at night.

From the walls of Jericho to the allocation of goat-infested hill country, this irreverent parody dives headfirst into the morally murky waters of holy war, all while skewering the contradictions, loopholes, and divine double standards of the original text.

Packed with biting satire, absurdist humour, and more theological whiplash than being launched from God's flaming hail catapult, this ungodly retelling of the Book of Joshua delivers divine carnage-and heretical hilarity.

J. R. Eldridge is a British satirical fiction author with a fascination for religion and the absurd mythology that surrounds it. He especially enjoys poking fun at it. He began writing joke Bible verses on Twitter, and eventually moved on to writing parodies of Bible stories. He collected some of these in his MisreadBible book series.
