5.0 out of 5 stars A contentious book is the best reading, 25 April 1997
By A Customer
I must say first that the delicious jibes at all things judeo-christian were more enjoyable knowing that the hometown Christian Women's Collective was probably frothing over perceived insults. For the more open-minded types, Morrow could very well serve as a call to rally against blind acceptance and inexplicable faith. But that would be inconsistent with the spirit of the short stories contained in "Bible Stories for Adults". An entirely honest title: bump the PG up to PG-13 for adult themes. The nature of consciousness, of environmental balances, of individuality and humanity. There's nothing petty, pointless or too detail-oriented about the institution of slavery in American society. Realize that it is behind us now, but in historical terms, not by too damn long a time. Morrow guts Western culture and preconceptions with gusto. But the real genius lies in the way he tempers his writing with humor, a great deal of it. The stories are nothing if not funny: the androids who are waiting for the Great Genital Coming, in which they will finally be differentiated into sexes; the other side of the Troy legend as related by a clever and aging Helen; Job's dung-heap, complete with a Zenith TV to pass the time. I enjoyed all the stories, some more than others. There was a slight degree of inaccessibility to some of the stories which relied heavily on Biblical scriptures. If you do not know your Bible stories well, you may not get all the jokes. On the other hand, if you know the scriptures well enough to get all the jokes, you probably won't find them funny. Well worth a few bucks, especially since I believe that Morrow will be unable to resist satirizing money in his next collection.
