Synopsis

Ever wanted to know why Mary and Joseph settled on the name Jesus? And have you ever wondered what really happened at The Last Supper? Or how Jesus managed to feed 5,000 people with two fishes and fives loaves of bread? Well, Jesus on Thyface finally reveals the true story. Thanks to recently released transcripts from the pages of Thyface.com, a little-known social networking site popular in the first century AD, we can now read first-hand accounts by the likes of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate, Herod - even Satan! They were all Thyface crazy: not a day went by when they weren't updating their statuses, adding new friends, or maybe just taking the thyface test: WHICH FRIENDS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE? Jesus on Thyface also offers a fascinating glimpse into biblical culture (witness the success of Fornication and the City in Amphitheatres), tourism (discover the joys of Noah World! or "the wilderness"), and commerce (get the best deal on your livestock through goatcompare.com.) The Bible will never be the same again.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Ever wanted to know why Mary and Joseph settled on the name Jesus?
And have you ever wondered what really happened at The Last Supper?
Or how Jesus managed to feed 5,000 people with two fishes and fives loaves of bread?
Well, Jesus on Thyface finally reveals the true story. Thanks to recently released transcripts from the pages of Thyface.com, a little-known social networking site popular in the first century AD, we can now read first-hand accounts by the likes of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate, Herod - even Satan! They were all Thyface crazy: not a day went by when they weren't updating their statuses, adding new friends, smiting one another, or maybe just taking the Thyface test: WHICH FRIENDS CHARACTER ARE YOU MOST LIKE?
Jesus on Thyface also offers a fascinating glimpse into biblical culture (witness the success of Fornication and the City in Amphitheatres), tourism (discover the joys of Noah World! or "the wilderness"), and commerce (get the best deal on your livestock through goatcompare.com.)
The Bible will never be the same again.

Description

'The Queen now has her own Facebook page ("reign again today") but you might have missed the news that Christ also started social networking on thyface ("Loggeth in, signeth up")... a jolly gift'
Humour Books of the Year, Sunday Times 29/11
'Once a year Page 45 sells out completely and promotes a book we find hysterically funny but which - although image and design play a central element - doesn't have the remotest connection to comics…this year it's both parody and parable which manifests itself in Thy-Face messaging, Begat.com family trees ("Begat.com. Who doth you think thou art?") …But it's the ThyFace postings that take the leavened bread"
