THE MISCONCEIVED CONCEPTION
OF A BABY NAMED JESUS

by Bill Burkland

Narrated by: Kevin E. Green

Production by: Bill Burkland

Hands Down Hilarious!

In a hilarious satirical retelling of the birth of Christ, the story begins on a moonlit night in a hidden Nazareth garden. Mary and Joseph’s passionate tryst leaves them with a secret nine months in the making. When Mary’s scandalised mother and a self-important High Priest spin the pregnancy as a divine miracle, Mary fiercely insists Joseph is the father. As Bethlehem buzzes with rumours of a virgin birth, the couple wages war against family and clergy while shady shepherds, flirty Wise Men, and a prophetic cat choose sides. In the end, the fate of baby Jesus hangs on one outrageous question: heavenly PR stunt or earthly love child?

The author, Bill Burkland, weaves a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the birth of Christ. He brings to life a different retelling that emphasises the possibility of other reasons surrounding the “virgin birth.” He demonstrates how easily dividing and fractions can form and create different truths that soon become questionable. Each character is carefully developed to be less than the more popular, polished, pious characters. This different retelling is entertaining, more believable given fake news, and more relatable.

The narrator, Kevin E. Green, did a solid job of providing voices for each character that are unique and sound authentic. His method of delivery is smooth, pauses for greater punch, and draws the listener deeply into the life and times of Joseph and Mary!

It’s got satire that actually means something, blasphemy that still loves the story it’s roasting, and hands-down one of the funniest, most honest takes on the birth of Christ you will ever experience!
