review 1: Na Crumbs supergoede Kafka, was dit een kleine teleurstelling voor mij. De eindnoten en zijn verstripping tonen zeker de absurditeit van de Bijbel (en daarmee het christendom en jodendom) aan, maar hoewel zijn tekenstijl in Kafka naadloos overging in de waanzin van Kafka's innerlijk, werkt het hier vooral humoristisch. De verstripping toont ook aan dat de Bijbel veel te saai is voor een strip en dat is ook de reden dat ik het niet heb uitgelezen...
review 2: God comes off as a lousy parent for humanity in Genesis. No wonder "his" children are so poorly behaved. Spiteful and capricious, often showing favoritism for no apparent reason.The illustrations are well done and make the (often tediously written and repetitive) material much more bearable. R. Crumb really... more likes to draw breasts (or failing that nipples) and will apparently try to do so at any opportunity. I knew this beforehand, but it was still kind of annoying.Gods chosen people (from which the jewish people claim descent) were apparently in-breeders, cheats, liars and polygamists. Oh, and they may have had sex out of wedlock. All of which god either turns a blind eye toward, or endorses. The religions for which this is a sacred text are clearly drawing their modern moral codes from elsewhere.There are extensive justifications for "gods chosen people" laying claim to land already occupied by others. That and dirty tricks to gain such. less
