Culled from First Century Texts and drawn from dozens of biblical and secular sources, these 88 monologues tell a revisionist tale of what transpired in Judea, Easter Week/Passover 33AD and beyond during the reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius. In the timeless argots of Petronius, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Swift, Lenny Bruce, Guy Ritchie, James Joyce, David Jones, Cockney and the world’s myriad cryptolects, The Canaanite Gospel strips bare the New Testament canard of the Resurrection of Yeshu of Nazareth and pokes a stick in the eye of the Synoptic Gospels.
