Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus by Chester Brown

funny informative fast-paced

3.25

This book is an interesting and entertaining adaption of a few stories from the Bible. The notes provide a lot of context. However, I found the author's reasoning a bit flimsy sometimes.

He claims that the reason the four women were added to the genecology of Jesus were to make a point that Mary was a prostitute, and I couldn't help but to find this a bit far-fetched. Many of the women in the stories weren't even prostitutes. Also, women hardly made appearances in the Bible without it somehow relating to sex, so sex centering in their stories is hardly an interesting common thread.

An interesting interpretation regardless!
