In Competition No. 2880 you were invited to provide a publicity blurb for the Bible to sell it to a modern audience.
Kieran Corcoran presents Jesus as a social media sensation — ‘He used to have 12 followers but now he has TWO -BILLION!’ — and Derek Morgan pitches the Good Book as the go-to self-help manual: ‘Going to a garden party and nothing to wear? Trouble finding accommodation at peak season in a small town in the sticks? A house on a flood plain and weather forecast looks bad?’ Other strong performers in an uneven field were John O’Byrne, Sylvia Fairley and Josh Ekroy.
The prizewinners, printed below, earn £30. The bonus fiver belongs to Pamela Dow.
