As a follow up to CJ Werleman's superb first book, God Hates You, Hate Him Back, this book focuses on the New Testament and, in doing so, has more time to go into detail. This is a good thing as it results in another wonderfully humorous exploration of the Christian Bible. Making his way through the New Testament, CJ treats the reader to an exposé of many of the problems it presents those who claim the Bible is inerrant and factual. As with his previous book, this won't offer the gravitas associated with Hitchen or Dawkings but, given Werleman's approach, I doubt that was his aim. Instead he sets out of offer an often hilarious but always interesting and informative read that anybody can enjoy, theists included (providing they have a sense of humour and don't take their religious beliefs to be above criticism.) Highly recommended for those with even a passing interest in religion.

If, like me, you are an atheist or agnostic who has an interest in religion (in this case specifically of the Judeo-Christian brand) this book is an absolute riot. Taking a delight in picking apart scripture, often with a carefree blasphemy that is refreshing for a religion oriented book, this is a superbly entertaining read. Whilst this may not have the gravitas of a Hitchen or Dawkings offering, it nonetheless offers an easy to read introduction to the absurdities of scripture. Whilst perhaps a little too irreverent for those with deeply held religious beliefs, though they could doubtless learn a thing or two about those beliefs if they availed themselves of a copy, this is a thoroughly recommended read for the rest of us.
