The Tabloid Bible is a fresh and funny take on biblical literacy. Humorist Nick Page, who happens to take the Bible very seriously, captures perfectly the deadpan style of popular, sensational tabloids found in supermarket checkout lanes everywhere in his retelling of major biblical events from Genesis to Revelation.

Nick Page looks into some of the puzzles, mysteries, curiosities and conundrums of the Bible. This book looks at over 30 mysteries of the Bible. From well known questions like 'where is the Ark of the Covenant?' and 'Where was Jesus born?' to less often asked such as 'Did Jesus own a house?' Light-hearted but thoroughly-researched, fun and informative, entertaining and enlightening, Nick Page combines good humour and good scholarship to create a book of Biblical history that is like no other. So, if you've ever wondered 'just how tall was Zacchaeus?', or 'what was the date of the...

Dragging preaching, teaching and communication into the 21st century, this book is for everyone who has to stand up and talk to others, and for those who have to sit and listen. It's packed full of creative ideas, hints, and tips for improving talks and sermons, from voice control to effective sermon planning. The Pages take a humorous look at the development and current state of the sermon, and explore whether the method of preaching and teaching most frequently used - the monologue sermon - is necessarily the best. They question whether the sermon is the only way of teaching, and further,...

The author of THE WRONG MESSIAH turns his attention to the life of the early church, digging deep into first century culture to understand why it made such an impact - and what we can learn today.

This handbook on the Bible is based around a book-by-book commentary written in an entertaining fashion, focusing on issues of relevance, and lightened throughout by a wide range of box-out sections and diagrams.

Reconstructing the moments, day by day, hour by hour, Nick Page examines the historical evidence to discover what really happened during Jesus' final days.

He came from the wrong social class, the wrong place and the wrong profession. He ate with the wrong people, championed the wrong causes and attracted the wrong kind of supporters. He even spoke with the wrong accent. In fact everything about Jesus of Nazareth was wrong. How could this odd-job man be God's Messiah?

God's Dangerous Book is the dramatic story of the history of the Bible. More, its a book about how the Bible has always been a dangerous, provocative text. The Bible is more than just a piece of literature. It's a challenge, an inspiration, a wild, unsettling mandate for revolutionary behaviour. And that is exactly how people have used it over the years - for good and ill.

Uniquely presented, God's Dangerous Book draws together story and scholarship with lively accounts of the people, powers and incidents involved in bringing the Bible, in the language of the...

Everything you need to know about the history of the Christian church and a few bits you didn't want to know thrown in for good measure

From Abelard to Zwingli, via a multitude of saints and sinners, Nick Page guides us through the creeds, the councils, the buildings, and the background of the Christian church in an illuminating, and perhaps ever so slightly irreverent way. A writer, speaker, unlicensed historian, and general information-monger, Nick Page combines in-depth research, historical analysis, and cutting-edge guesswork to explore how on earth the Christian church has survived...
