Comic Bible Sketches (1885)

Comic Bible Sketches is a book written by George William Foote and published in 1885. The book is a collection of humorous and satirical sketches that depict various stories and characters from the Bible. Foote's aim was to provide a fresh and entertaining perspective on the Bible, which he believed was often taken too seriously and treated with excessive reverence. The sketches cover a range of topics, from the creation story to the crucifixion of Jesus, and are illustrated with humorous drawings that add to the comedic effect. Foote's writing style is witty and irreverent, and he uses his sketches to poke fun at the inconsistencies and contradictions in the Bible, as well as the moral and ethical issues that arise from some of its stories. While some readers may find Foote's approach to the Bible disrespectful or offensive, others may appreciate his attempt to inject some levity and critical thinking into a text that is often treated as sacrosanct. Overall, Comic Bible Sketches offers an entertaining and unique take on one of the most influential books in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
