From the Publisher:
You've probably heard the biblical tale of the Prodigal Son, the young man whose father welcomes him back into the fold even after he's squandered his entire inheritance. Well, get ready for Robert Martin Walker's new book, Politically Correct Parables, wherein the story becomes "The Negative-Attention-Getting Son."
From the Back Cover:
In this witty recasting of first century stories, Walker takes political correctness to ridiculous extremes by retelling a variety of biblical parables. The Good Samaritan becomes, "The Generosity-Gifted Samaritan." The tale of the Pharisee and Publican becomes, "The Generosity-Gifted Pharisee and Marginalized Publican." Even Jesus has some hilariously memorable lines: "Do this and you will never be terminally inconvenienced."
In an era of over-the-top political correctness, Politically Correct Parables, is a refreshing and funny sermon on going too far. If you know the Bible-- or if you're simply sick of the self-righteous political correctness that surrounds us-- you will find this book an amusing and enlightening read.
Fifteen of the parables of Jesus, humorously retold in politically correct style. From the story of the geographically dislocated sheep to that of the generosity-gifted Samaritan, here are the parables of Jesus as you've never read them before, rephrased and reworked so as to fit the demands of political correctness. Of course, these demands have in places turned the whole parable around, and we discover that perhaps the pre-politically correct world wasn't so bad after all. At least you could tell a straight story! So this book is a great opportunity to laugh at some of our modern mores, as well as a challenge to think again about the directness and forthrightness of Jesus' original words.
