Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’ve been trying to track down the source of this supposed Bible (I’m calling it an “anti-Bible,” similar to “antipope” or “Antichrist”) that asserts that Jesus was a woman named Judith. I am having a good bit of trouble finding anything but the WND news story and the outraged reactions.

On top of this, the news story gives the LBI Institute’s spokesperson as “Billie Shakespeare.” I assume everybody has heard of William Shakespeare; “Billie” is a feminine form of “William.”

After a few searches on Google and elsewhere I find the following:

The book is for sale at Amazon. Whether it actually exists I do not know; I have no intention of sending the authors any money to find out.

amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=LBI%20Institute/104-5779199-6426343

amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0966143728/qid=1117971028/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-5779199-6426343?v=glance&s=books

Evidently somebody tried to buy a copy, because this is one of the Customer Reviews: “This web page is out of date. This web page is out of inventory for this title and can not ship it.” There are half a dozen other customer reviews, but none of them indicates that the reviewer actually looked at the book.

Somebody has posted the LBI Institute’s telephone number and e-mail address on a blog and in a news story

klfy.com/Global/story.asp?S=3409650

Since it’s Sunday morning here I haven’t tried the telephone number. The e-mail address is at “gmail.com”, which makes me VERY suspicious that this is not a real business.

Has anybody had any better luck in tracking this down?

No, I have not been able to get any information, but I thought that the “Billie Shakespeare” thing was hinky…You know what else I thought of: There used to be a film critic named “Judith Crist” (honest!), back in–oh, it had to be the ’ 70s…I thought of her right away when I saw the first of this story. (But then, people are so crazy, I thought it could be happening for real…). Anyhow, I am very suspicious…
 
Ah, the watchmen that stand guard and never leave their post. I’ll be looking forward to this “breaking news story,” especially since this is about the third thread relating to this. 😃

A link to Wilhelm von Christ 🙂

Some versions of the NT are so outlandish that it isn’t always clear when they are jokes 🙂

There are quite a few Shakespeares in the UK - “that playwright” is only the most famous ##
