An award-winning author of numerous books, Chris Abani moves between his Igbo ancestry and migration to the United States in poems that evoke the holiness of grief through the startling, central practice of inhaling an immolated Bible. Smoking the Bible is an arresting collection of poems thick with feeling, shaped by Chris Abani’s astounding command of form and metaphor. These poems reveal the personal story of two brothers—one elegizing the other—and the larger story of a man in exile: exile of geography, culture, and memory. What we experience in this emotionally generous collection is a deep spiritual reckoning that draws on ancient African traditions of belief, and an intellectual vivacity drawing on various wisdom literatures and traditions. Abani illustrates the connective geography between harm, regret, and release, as poems move through landscapes of Nigeria, the Midwestern United States, adulthood, and childhood. One has the sense of entering a whole and complex world of the imagination in reading this collection. There is no artifice here, no affectation; and these poems are a study in the very grace of image.

The book's young protagonist finds himself lost in a lush park setting inhabited by faceless drone-like people and religious figures who take advantage of the faceless hoard. Upon seeing the abuses and questioning his belief in a higher power, the confused teen is confronted by Jesus. Jesus helps him understand the untold secrets of creation and God by way of a jaunt throughout history.Utilizing a special strain of marijuana called Quadruple-H, Jesus reveals debatable, logical, yet downright controversial ideas about the life and extinction of the dinosaurs, the fallacy of 'Satan', the creation of Death, the dichotomy between free will and God's will, the true power of human greed, animal souls, Judas' relationship with Jesus, the crusades, the harsh reality of dying on the cross, proof of aliens, the normality of the Pope, the concept of heaven and the greatest mystery of all – why God no longer interferes in the lives of people as he once did in Old Testament texts.Smoking a 'J' with Jesus is meant to be both humorous and enlightening with a dash of teenaged immaturity and innocence. It provides a mental journey of “questioning everything in our indoctrinated belief system” with fellow kindred spirits who also feel a need to rethink religion and marijuana usage while still staying true to their beliefs in God and Jesus.

There are no Bible verses that talk directly about marijuana. Is that surprising? So does that make it okay to smoke weed?Let's deal with the argument that it is OK to smoke pot since it is a creation of God. Yes, God did create the plant marijuana comes from. However, God NEVER intended you to dry the plant out, go to 7-11 and buy a pack of Blunt Raps, crumble the dried plant in the rolling paper, roll it up and smoke it. That, my friend, is a perversion of God's creation.There is one thing about God and sin. It's not sin if you don't know its sin. So if you have to ask whether it's sin or not then you are admitting to yourself that you really do not know it is. You're just look for someone to "give you permission" to do it. We are only accountable to what we know. And the truth is if God wanted us “high” we would have been born with the capability to naturally have that feeling that comes from smoking weed.

What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana? In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God. Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis. In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives readers: Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God
