Red and Blue God, Black and Blue Church: Eyewitness Accounts of How American Churches are Hijacking Jesus, ...
Becky Garrison
Jossey-Bass, 2006
Thought provoking and very, very funny!
+ Faith & Politics
+ Great Book
Like all memorable satire, Ms. Garrison's book has something to offend everyone and something to make us all take another look at what we thought we believed. In a series of essays that invoke the spirit of Monty Python and George Carlin, she tackles those two subjects your mother told you not to ...

The Tabloid Bible
Nick Page
Westminster John Knox Press, 1998
Attacks tabloid folly without demeaning the source material.
+ The Bible as you've never seen it before
+ Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.
I read the original British version of this while preparing to interview Nick Page for "The Door," a religious satire magazine. This is a wonderful, funny book -- but Page is careful to make fun of tabloid attitudes and stupidity, not the Bible stories themselves. Not to be missed.

Craig McNair Wilson
Harpercollins, 1983
A sly-but-charming "children's book" for adults
This is a book of playful Christian satire presented in the form of a children's ABC book -- with one entry or more for each letter. ("G" is for "gravy," which is never mentioned in the Bible, but it's also for "God," who -- it turns out -- is mentioned in the Bible.) McNair is irreverent towards ...
