Review
If you are clueless about the coming American religious civil war, if you occasionally wish to read poetry that will make you chuckle as well as reexamine the figures taking shape in your rear-view mirror, or if you have never worried about the Gospel of Thaddaeus, you need to read Baubles of Blasphemy. Filled with home-spun as well as Harvard-woven humor, this book will be impossible to put down once you have begun to read it. Religious satire at its finest. --American Atheist Press

Laugh out loud funny,

This review is from: Baubles of Blasphemy (Paperback)
Edwin Kagin's Baubles of Blasphemy hit my funny bone repeatedly. He tackles such issues as religion, evolution, holidays and intelligent design with an aplomb that is fresh, witty and satirical. This book is enormously readable. Because it is written in segments, you can pick it up at anytime and enjoy something new at each sitting. Kagin knows his Bible and doesn't hesitate to quote it. Don't miss the selections entitled Dear Intelligent Designer and On the Gospel of Thaddaeus. This book is for any person with a brain and a sense of humor.

Wonderfully humorous and irreverent,
This review is from: Baubles of Blasphemy (Paperback)
If humor, intelligence, and iconoclastic prose are what you are looking for, look no further 'Baubles of Blasphemy.' This assortment of irreligious works blends satire, sarcasm, and sacrilege into an entirely readable work for all those who question the existence of the supernatural.

Irreverent and thought provoking,

This review is from: Baubles of Blasphemy (Paperback)
If you are a true believer, this book will be utter sacrilege. If you have an open mind, this book will make you think and laugh and think again. Edwin F. Kagin's humor and insight on subjects as diverse as the Blessed Virgin Mary and separation of church and state may cause you to revise your own viewpoint and look at the world a little differently. I can't wait to share Hades with Edwin Kagin.
