Authors Put New Spin on 1974's IF THE DEVIL WROTE A BIBLE

Earthen Vessel Publishing releases If The Devil Wrote A Bible, by Kent Allan and Katie Philpott. Originally published in 1974, the authors have put a whole new spin on their classic, big-seller.

In this newest version of If The Devil Wrote A Bible, authors Kent, and his wife Katie, Philpott have updated the contents entirely, nearly tripling the word count and adding two special features; the 'Demonments,' which are the devil's version of the Ten Commandments, and the 'BeBaditudes,' which are the counterpart to Jesus' Beatitudes found in Matthew's Gospel.

Throughout the twenty-nine chapters the devil spins his lies, some so very clever people might not even recognize their demonic origin. In chapter 6 the devil writes: "The bible is hopelessly outdated, complicated, and unintelligible to modern readers." In chapter 12 he pontificates, "What counts is the community of Earth. Personal salvation is self-centeredness to the extreme."

There is a Christian response after every demonic passage, presenting a reasonable and biblical refutation to the witty but wickedly devilish lie of the 'crafty one.'

In 1974, Logos International of Plainfield, New Jersey published the original version of Philpott's "If The Devil Wrote A Bible." The small volume treated some of the common misconceptions people have about quasi-spiritual and Christian concepts. Philpott exposed their demonic nature and presented a biblical point of view in their place. The books flew off the shelves, with the need for a second print run a year later. The demand was such that it was also published and distributed in Spanish.

The current version of If The Devil Wrote A Bible is available in paperback and E-book format at: www.evpbooks.com.
