About this Author
Reviews
"Accurate yet rib-tickling, these scriptural riffs are perfect for fans of Monty Python's Life of Brian." -- Publishers Weekly
"Pairing Russell's irreverent prose interpretations of Biblical legend with Wheeler's droll single-panel cartoons... it's a jam-packed read that turns these ancient texts into engaging, accessible narratives, with a strong sense of humor." -- The AV Club
"Apocrypha Now isn't a fraction as disrespectful as it might appear, though much of the source material was deemed heretical when it was stricken from the Good Book hundreds of years ago. But it is completely enjoyable, accessible and educational." -- Paste
"Apocrypha Now is everything you never knew you always wanted from the Bible." -- Daily Kos
"If you have ever heard of the Gnostic Gospels or Nag Hammadi, and wondered what was up with that, Apocrypha Now is an excellent primer....Fascinating." -- Ink 19
