Are we allowed to read ancient texts with our modern categories of genre? And what informs our education on biblical genres? We wonder out loud at if we might read the Bible through a satirical lens and even suggest some possible edits of books or stories we wish were never part of the Bible to begin with. Follow along in your study bibles and be sure to ruthlessly prooftext us wherever we get it wrong.
