Some comments received about "The Bible In Limerick Verse":

Sharp, funny, St Paul meets Edward Lear…and lives.

The Very Reverend John Moses, Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, London

I want to say to every reader of The Bible in Limerick Verse: don't be in a hurry. Do not be deceived by the apparently simple approach that has been adopted. Give yourself time to read - perhaps to read aloud - to reflect, and to find for yourself the abiding truths that lie at the heart of our Christian faith.

Sir John Grimley Evans, Professor of Clinical Geratology, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford

A tour de force.  Old wine into new bottles!  How much easier it will be for us to remember the answers in the Catechism - the first step to living by them . . .  

Professor Dr Peter Goddard, mathematical physicist, former Master of St John's College, Cambridge, and currently Director of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University, New Jersey

There can be few distinctly new takes on the familiar texts of the Bible, but Christopher Goodwins' limerick version not only entertains, but may provoke thought from a new point of view. Mr Goodwins' achievement is as improbable as it is impressive and engaging. Everyone will surely be diverted by it.

The Bible in Limerick verse
Could be pretty banal or worse,
But Christopher's wit
Shines through ev'ry bit
So it's really quite the reverse. 

Lord David Owen, Former Foreign Secretary

The Limerick is a great English tradition, and these Limericks are full of wisdom, and radiate fun.

The Reverend Jonathan S. Peel, Former Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk

The Bible in Limerick Verse is a wonderful resource. Brief, apt, witty, and certainly approachable for all ages. Many congratulations for such a rarity: theology with a light touch.

Mr Richard Stilgoe, Author and Broadcaster

What a remarkable project to devise, and even more remarkable to complete. I hope the book is a great success in the USA - I don't know whether the limerick is as established over there as over here.
