This Version of the Bible is a must read for all. It reveals the true nature of religion and it's true purpose. By cutting to the hard core psychological base of human mind control. With thousands of years of refined propaganda technology in it's box of mental tricks, religion is opened like a can of slithering worms. With the slippery and devious underground stories being dug up and used as bait for the gullible and the ignorant. I give Douglas Rankin 5 stars for his candor and humor to bring to light the wisdom of the Christian Bible with all it's lies, gore and stupidity! This will be a family Bible to be treasured like no other! I say lets have the Queen Jane in every library, school and church! AMEN!

This is the second copy i have purchased. The first was actually STOLEN out of my car, during a break-in. i loved it the first time, just got my second copy.. will guard it with my life, this time! A MUST READ by anyone who questions just WHAT the original King James version was actually saying.

It really opened my eyes up to the amount of filth that the bible really contains

Douglas A. Rankin, a linguist and freethinker, has modified the King James Version of the Bible so that all the sex, scatology, violence, and so forth therein is stated in plain, unambiguous, and uncensored language. The book also includes a system of well-drawn icons that mark for the reader those portions of the text that involve the types of content Rankin wishes to highlight (a snoozing moon for the boring parts, a urinating child for scatology, a Dracula face for canibalism, a copulating heterosexual couple for heterosexual sex passages, and so forth). Yet _Queen Jane's Version_ is much more than a translation of the King James Version into contemporary English. The book is designed to be "an iconoclastic, biting, often shocking satire that mocks religious hypocrisy and the gullibility of hard-core believers." According to Rankin, the purpose of such an approach is to inspire people to live life for life rather than for death, for reality rather than for mind-crippling myth." Yet, given the book's antagonistic approach, I think it is highly unlikely that the book will accomplish anything besides alienating Christians. In marketing terms, this book is a "high negative."
