One part Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, one part Anchor Bible Commentary, Midrash on the Juanitos unravels the seductive, intoxicating power of reading the Bible. Mixing narrative and a playful reading of First, Second, and Third John, Russell Rathbun complicates and elucidates the text, while humorously causing us to rethink contemporary Christianity.

Russell Rathbun is one of the preachers at House of Mercy Church. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his wife, two children, and their dog, KoKo.
