About this listen

'And God said, Let there be light; and there was light, but Eastern Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.'

There have been many interpretations of the Old Testament over the centuries but never one quite like this.

Spike Milligan has rewritten, in his own inimitable style, many of the best-known stories of the Old Testament, featuring characters like King 'my brain hurts' Solomon; the great oaf of a giant, Goliath; and the lesser-known crossword clue, Hushai the Archite.

Believers and nonbelievers alike will enjoy this hilarious reworking, where the jokes, jests and jibes tumble over each other from chapter one, verse one until kingdom come.

Despite what Audible tells you, this is an abridged recording. There are whole passages missing throughout the book. Otherwise, it's a good laugh.

wonderfully daft with Spike's unique style. I spent the time giggling like an idiot. Spike as the narrator added an extra dimension to it.

A wonderful book

If you know Milligan you'll know what this is. The Bible put into Spike's crazy world view, complete with references to old Milligan favourites like the Gas Board, East Finchley et al.

Just such a shame that all the other books he "re-wrote" aren't available with the genius himself reading it. So treasure this one.

It's wonderful.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. And its brilliant.

Interesting reading of the Bible, with plenty of dark humour. It’s almost like Spike is ‘reading’ this over a pint and conversation.
Great for car journeys (without kids), with a few laugh out comments. Pity he didn’t to other religious books…..

Biblical fun

Sorry Spike, this is a compilation of the same joke over and over again, almost literally. I loved you but this is awful.
