This is an amazing book, like nothing else I’ve read. A creative mix of scholarly research, “found” fragments, and dramatic histories, The Goddess Bible brings the ancient world to life. Incredibly ambitious, well-researched, and beautifully written, it explores the tensions between the goddess and her worshippers and the male god and his worshippers, and shows how they resonate in the modern world.

The author's intelligence has a binding influence, giving this work a tangible sense of historical truth. A brilliant creative work of revisionist (or re-interpreted) history. It’s a wild ride!

The so-called Judeo-Christian Bible has been the driving force behind Western hegemonic culture for close on two millennia, underpinning and promoting the patriarchy’s prime objective: the subjugation and sexual control of women. The Goddess Bible shines a fierce and welcome light on the reality behind the Sunday School stories.

The Goddess Bible is a fascinating and beautifully written take on Biblical stories. It feels like an authentic ancient text, while providing a very fresh and exciting alternative viewpoint. Seeing the events of the Bible from the perspective of the goddess worshippers invites all sorts of interesting questions about the impact of organised religion on human history and on our lives today.
