About the Book

"Hilarious. . . . It's Cliff Notes for Scripture--screenplay by Plotz, story by God. . . . In the end, though, the book is made by the spirit of the writer." -- The New York Times Book Review "Like the Bible itself, Good Book contains multitudes--it is by turns thought-provoking, funny, enlightening and moving." -- A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "Plotz is a genius writer." -- Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World A whip-smart, laugh-out-loud tour through the most important book in the world, a book most people have never read: the Bible.

Review :
"Irreverent. . . . Plotz's hilarious exegeses will have you laughing out loud. Who knew the Bible was such a riot?" -- Time Out New York "A bloody good book. . . . Very funny. . . . Priceless for those of all traditions who see value in posing unanswerable questions to each other, and to God himself." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune "Highly entertaining." -- The Jerusalem Post "Like the Bible itself, Good Book contains multitudes--it is by turns thought-provoking, funny, enlightening and moving. In short, David Plotz's book easily lives up to its name. Trust me, Thou shalt enjoy." -- A. J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "Thanks to David Plotz's amazing book, I will never have to read The Bible. When can he do this for Madame Bovary?" -- Andy Borowitz, author of The Borowitz Report "Plotz is a genius writer. He can mine Genesis for new insights--and play the book of Job for laughs. He's the perfect companion for a romp through the Bible: charmingly confessional, a deeply penetrating reader, and at complete ease relating ancient (often obscure) narratives to our modern condition." -- Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World
