Retelling the Bible

This is a chapter from the book I have been working on, The Seven Demons of Miryam of Magdala. It tells the story of the woman we know as Mary Magdalene. This is the part of the story when she was still a very young woman and some construction workers passed through town.

Beside the manger, Mary is struggling with negative thoughts and emotions.

John the Baptist's opening act prepares the people to meet with the main attraction. Based on Matthew 3:1-12.

Zadok, high priest of Jerusalem, tells his grandson the story of David's conquest of the city. Zadok's point of view is a little bit different from how the official biblical story goes!

The story of the New Testament as seen from the point of view of a surprising bystander who was there for much of it: King Herod Agrippa I.

The story of the battles of Ai (Joshua 7,8) is a very disturbing story. How did Joshua escape the blame for his worst mistake?

Someone is very upset about the celebrations that are going on in the neighbourhood! Based on Luke 15:1-10.

Finally, we get to hear Bathsheba's story of what happened that day when she was bathing, and what happened afterwards.

Jesus once told a story about a rich man who had a problem -- he had too much stuff. How might he tell that story today?

In 587 BCE, Ismael son of Nethaniah and Zephaniah the Priest made a deal to save the city of Jerusalem. Might have worked too, if they hadn't totally blown it.
