1995: Towing Jehovah

by Morrow, James

Description

Anthony Van Horne is visited by an angel and is informed that God is dead. His corpse is miles long and floating in the ocean. Anthony needs to command an oil tanker, snag the cadaver and tow it to the arctic where the angels have created a tomb. During the journey, he has to deal with a host of challenges like a crazy feminist, the Vatican, and the biggest question of all – What exactly is God doing dead? Why it's on the list Towing Jehovah is unusual and written in an ingenious manner. The book covers a broad array of themes, from the physics of towing a giant corpse, cannibalism, theology, cryonics etc. All in all Towing Jehovah manages to cover a host of sensitive topics in a very engaging and entertaining manner. A really enjoyable book for theist and atheist alike.
