The oldest book in history, the holy Bible
has been re-written as a “modern day
Bible” called The Book of Yeezus and
believe it or not, every mention of God (Jesus, Yahweh) has been changed to
‘Yeezus’, Kanye’s name.
New Version of the Bible Replaces Every
Mention of God
The new book of Yeezus downplays the
supremacy of God to the admittedly massive ego of the rapper (Kanye West) whose
name replaced that of God in the Bible in the new book. “The Book of Yeezus” is
a hardback bible that replaces every mention of God with Kanye West’s name.
As blasphemous and offensive this book may
appear to be, the creators of the book argue that it’s only an “editorial art
piece.
According to them: This book wasn’t made to make fun at Kanye,
or really even show or undying devotion towards him. Book of Yeezus is simply
an exposition. It’s adding an original twist to something ancient and important
in order to capture new meaning. We are trying to cast our spotlight towards
the way cultural icons have come to be the contemporary spiritual figures in
our information culture.
Each generation champions a superstar, so
consistently relevant that they come to accompany that generation through its
evolution, being a part of and ultimately shaping its identity. Such past icons
have been the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, or Michael
Jackson. For this generation, Generation Y, Kanye West is not only its greatest
spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure. We are here to spread a
doctrine. Well, a pseudo-doctrine.
According to Independent.co.uk, fans can
buy the Book of Yeezus, bound in a black, hard-cover gold-leaf imprinted book,
for £13.77 on a popular site. Here are photos of the book below:
