(Christian Adult Science Fiction/Fantasy Adventure)

Adult CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FICTION???? and FANTASY ADVENTURE???? No, Virginia, that is NOT a contradiction.

Jesus in His Earthly ministries told stories, parables, similes, and so on. Unless a widow had actually lost a coin, and a shepherd a sheep, and a certain man on the road to Jericho actually happened, which indeed could be the case, these were FICTION. Illustrations. Perhaps even entertainment.

Face it, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, is arguably the single greatest storyteller ever.

Now. About the pile of papers this sheet is discussing.

Are these an attempt to EMBELLISH the Word? To ADD TO THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY as Revelation puts it in its warning?

In short: No. These are merely a retelling, not a rewriting of the Bible with the intent that these BECOME a new 'Word', if that is possible.

Just as "Jesus Christ Superstar" was a retelling of the Gospel of John, so these are a (hopefully) slightly more humble attempt by a poor sportswriter and political observer to put a fresh coat of paint on some of the great stories of the Bible. Perhaps reaching an audience that may be unfamiliar with a few of them with the essentials of the stories. And while staying close to the original plots in most cases, maybe bringing in a few surprises to hold their interest.

Maybe more than a few.
