cinpaw 's review for:
A Children's Bible
by Lydia Millet
The book is an allegory that is filled with biblical reference while really addressing climate change.
There is a flood, angels, a crucifixion and more. The child Jack reads the bible as “God’s a code word,” he explains to his sister. “They say God but they mean nature. . . . And we believe in nature.” He’s got the whole Trinity figured out: “There’s lots the same with Jesus and science,” he says. “For science to save us we have to believe in it. And same with Jesus.” Out of the mouths of babes! But as with the prophets of old, almost nobody listens to Jack.
I should like this book because of the great reviews and it's link to climate change but I just didn't like the characters.
