About

Welcome to MisreadBible

I’m J. R. Eldridge — British satirical author and creator of The MisreadBible series, which parodies the Bible with irreverent wit and a dash of theological side-eye. I live in Northumberland, England, where I spend my time on creative projects, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and walking my adorable whippet, Xena.

I’ve always found the Bible fascinating. I was raised Christian but lost my faith in my early teens while studying it. That curiosity never went away, and years later, during another deep dive into scripture, I started writing joke verses on Twitter and, later, short parody stories. What began as a small collection grew into The MisreadBible series — now four books strong, with a fifth on the way.

Alongside my biblical mischief, I also write satirical short stories and create animated videos (check out my YouTube channel, linked at the top of the page).

On this site, you’ll find non-biblical stories, blog posts, and details of my published books and where to buy them.

So have a browse, have a laugh, and remember: if you want to know how much of the absurdity comes from my warped imagination and how much comes from the so-called ‘inerrant word of God,’ look up the verses yourself. You’ll find plenty are absurd without any ‘misreading.’
