    It’s also more of an anthology but the editor clearly didn’t do their job. You’ve got a book of fables right next to a genealogy list. Later on there’s literally 4 versions of the same damn story. And then they jammed some fanfic writers apocalyptic crap at the end.

      Also 3 of the versions describe the crucifixion as Christ being tied to the cross, only one of them said anything about being nailed to the cross.

      Seeing it described like this, I wonder if we’ll ever see an edited version that’s organized more like LOTR. Throw the genealogy crap and miscellaneous garbage into a seperate book you can choose to look at if you want, and throw the main stories into their own books.

      The Prophet, or There and Back Again, and Back Again. A Jewish Tale by Moses

      The King of the Jews

      Honestly, I bet a good fiction writer could do this really well and it’d make a lot of money. I don’t know if you aim for actual religious people or make it as a parody though.
