A bunch of Aussies have spent the day at the beach. They wind up in one bloke’s backyard where the barbie is firedup and loaded with grub steaks and veg and such. Later over a cold drink one bloke starts telling stories.They are some of the best know and best loved stories in the world; stories that have been told on every continent on earth; stories that have been circling the world for 2000 years. They are stories about the carpenter who changed history as he traveled the Outback with his mates. This time those stories are retold in real fair dinkum Aussie English. With its own Australian take on “In the beginning...” The Aussie Bible starts off with its worldknow and disarmingly friendly “G’day” Then sets out retelling tales in a manner and style that will have you reading and sometimes laughing out loud. From A Gigantic Picnic The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes to an Aussiestyle Psalm 23 to the Glossary specially lengthened for the Yanks The Aussie Bible is a smashhit pageflipper for all ages that has already sold over 110000 copies worldwide.

For the most part, I find the translation into Aussie slang is well done, but I was disappointed with a couple of expressions used, especially in referring to Mary Magdalene as the "town bike" and somebody else being "done up like a pox doctor's clerk".
Apart from this, I am looking forward to see if any other bits of the Bible will be translated in the future. ( )
