This retelling, in comics form, of nine biblical stories presents Chester Brown's startling thesis about biblical representations of prostitution. Brown weaves a connecting line between Bathsheba, Ruth, Rahab, Tamar, Mary of Bethany, and the Virgin Mother and then reassesses the Christian moral code by examining the cultural implications of the Bible's representations of sex work.
