Aprašymas

"Honest, not evasive of complicity... it blasts beyond traditional authority, be that religious or scholarly." - Ewan Fernie

A Shaken Bible began as a casual experiment after a Gillian Rose conference. It then developed into a hyper-redacted overhaul of the King James Bible of 1611, which returned the heretics and ranters to its pages, Blake included. It also gave the bible a proletarian gob.

The late Andrew Shanks-who contributed the preface-correctly identified a 'moral longing' in the urge to return to these texts, but this can only ever be a deracinated exercise, in our continuing epoch of nihilism, as Nietzsche defined it.

A Shaken Bible evolves slowly, across editions. This new edition also presents a revised essay on the text by the author.
