A Few Study Bibles Coming Out Later This Year - NOT!

In light of the buzz and excitement about the new ESV Study Bible, Michael Spencer, aka Internet Monk, has published a spoof list of upcoming new study Bibles at A Few Study Bibles Coming Out Later This Year. I liked them all, but especially laughed at these two.

The Mark Driscoll R-Rated Study Bible for Dudes. Freak out your reformed Baptist friends with Mark Driscoll’s comedic, rude and radically male centered interpretations of scripture. This is a study Bible that reaches the emerging culture while denouncing the emerging church. A fashion section helps you to see the scriptural mandates for mechanic’s shirts and hemp necklaces. Puzzlingly endorsed by John Piper, an alternative sheet of negative endorsements from various reformed bloggers is available on request. Profanity in red letters. Crude and shocking sexual episodes in blue. Bible doctrine is related to MMA throughout.

The Paula White “What the….” Study Bible. Learn that if you’re an evangelical hottie, you can find just about anything in the Bible. Discover the 25 reasons Matthew 25 is the key to receiving $25,000 to give as a seed in 2025. Special notes include “Divorce? Phhhhht,” “Sounding like T.D. Jakes but looking a lot better,” “Ministering With Your Ex-Husband,” and “Making God Look Good in My Escalades.” Available in charismaniac or evangelical ebonics versions

Cute Michael, cute!
