Fake Titles, 2.0

Randall Stephens

"Counting flowers on the wall/That don't bother me at all . . . Now don't tell me I've nothing to do." I have something to do. I have to come up with another list of fake religious history book titles for the RiAH blog. Or, so I imagine I have to.

Below are some of the ones I conjured. I wanted to pepper the list with a few baroque, theory-driven texts. Others might make good trade books. And some are utterly useless, horrible.
