“The Book of Job goes against what people think the Bible is supposed to be saying. It challenges people’s views about God and what our relationship is supposed to be with God. No one wants to confront what I think it’s saying: that God isn’t interested in human conceptions of right and wrong.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"51Sq-hNgfVL._SX273_BO1,204,203,200_\"<\/a>The Paying For It Players<\/strong><\/em> return! During\u00a0the Toronto Comic Arts Festival,\u00a0Chester Brown<\/a> and Nina Bunjevac<\/a> rejoin the show to perform a chapter from Chester’s amazing new book, Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus<\/a>\"\"! Then we talk with Chester about his understanding of God, the role of prostitution in the Bible, his favorite stories from the Hebrew and Christian gospels, and the girlfriend who inadvertently\u00a0spurred his interest in\u00a0Biblical scholarship. Then Nina Bunjevac discusses\u00a0her response to the book tour for Fatherland<\/a>\"\", laments the loss of small bookstores in North America, explains why she’s changing course in her comics career, and more!\u00a0Give it a listen!<\/a>\u00a0And buy Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus<\/a>\"\" (Drawn & Quarterly)!<\/p>\n

“I think we have a really big problem in North America, because the holy trinity of artist-publisher-bookseller doesn’t really exist.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
