Aug. 21, 2003 — Jesus might have been the son of God but he was also a top bloke who threw ripper barbies, according to a version of the Bible released Thursday that translates the Christian holy book into Australian slang.
In the Aussie Bible the Virgin Mary is "a pretty special sheila" who gets knocked up with the Big Boss' son wraps him in a bunny rug and tucks him up in a feed trough in the back shed because the local pub is full to bursting.
Author Kel Richards said the 90-page book was a light-hearted way of introducing the Bible to ordinary people who might be put off by the traditional version's language.
"It is written using the Australian vernacular and as if the events had actually happened in Australia," he said.
Richards started the project after reading about a London teacher who translated the Bible into cockney rhyming slang for his students.
Instead of the Bible's traditional opening of "in the beginning..." Richards opens his book with the informal Australian greeting of "G'day."
