Description: New. Behind the humor of these pieces, readers will see Twain's serious thoughts on the relationship between God and Man, biblical inconsistencies, Darwinism, science, and the impact of technology on religious beliefs. "A fascinating panoply of wit, satir... read more
"There were some wonderfully witty and insightful moments sandwiched between some less than amusing pieces. Unfortunately, the witty came less often that I would have hoped."
"Mark Twain is the greatest. His sharp wit, brutal cynicism and sardonic social commentary all come to play in this collection of Twain's "religious" writings. Biblical interpretations and re-telling of classic Christian tales in a way only Twain could do it. Highly recommended is the essay "Letters from the Earth". Jesus himself would laugh at this."
"Worth getting for The Diaries of Adam and Eve, Letters from Earth, and a couple other stories, but most of the book is of interest only to people doing a very in depth study of his writing."
"I've tried to read this but enough! The start of it is awfully boring Notes on the texts and Twain's writings aren't as good as I expected. However I did give up at page 57 maybe it gets better but I don't care anymore to find out."
