Greatest Book Ever Written

The Bible is a great source of inspiration to Pat Stevens, for it is the greatest book ever written and the sweetest song ever sung, so important that mankind divided time into before and after the birth of the Messiah. Seventeen prophetical books foretell the coming of Christ, among many other prophecies, and twelve historical books meticulously detail the history of the chosen people. The five poetical books stand amongst the greatest poetry ever written, while the five books of the law are the basis of the Judeo-Christian ethic, and the foundation of law in most Western democracies. The teaching of our Saviour is narrated in the New Testament, while the Old Testament is a marvellous tapestry of amazing ancestors, among these the author drew his inspiration for Absalom's Tomb. Which is not an attempt to rewrite the Bible but a new style of Biblical writing, the King James English is retained for the dialogue and a modern writing style used for the narrative, overlaying a lovely Shakespearian veneer on the story. Pat Stevens does not write Christian books but rather is a Christian who writes books, that reflect not only his Christian ethic but also his political and social views, so the book moves onto a section of religious essays applied to modern society. Where Absalom's Tomb continues with Solomon's Sons, namely Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and his links to the Rastafarian movement, who believe that neoliberal bankers are the Babylon Whore. The author explores this through an interesting Gematria, a Babylonian system of numerology later adopted by the Jews, which Pat Stevens uses to zero in on noxious neoliberalism. The book also introduces the novel concept of Old Earth Creationism, which counterpoints the account in Genesis against modern evolution, and ponders if Einstein's Theory of Relativity makes a six-day-creation possible? There is also a message for the Pope which raises concerns about the Catholic Church, then the book finishes by questioning the meaning of life, and concludes that the meaning for Pat Stevens is to expose neoliberalism as a dangerous fraud.
