The Uncensored Bible exposes readers (so to speak) to the lighter, bawdier side of biblical tradition. Authors John Kaltner, Steven McKenzie, and Joel Kilpatrick bring some of the most outrageous speculations about the Scriptures - all based on legitimate scholarship - to light in this hilarious collection. Readers will learn that King David swore like a sailor, mandrakes were the biblical equivalent of Viagra®, and Joseph's "coat of many colors" may have actually been a dress (which might explain why his brothers picked on him). Shocking, racy and laugh-out-loud funny, The Uncensored Bible is a lighthearted look at the world's bestselling book. John Kaltner is an associate professor of religious studies at Rhodes College. He is the author of several books, including Ishmael Instructs Isaac and The Old Testament: Its Background, Growth, And Content, which he co-wrote with Steven L. McKenzie. He lives in Memphis, Tenn.
