THE BIBLE IN 300 WORDS
TO AVOID TL;DR?

THE START

God: OK, humanity, represent Me to the Creation, with care & love; Live and work with Me; Have fun!
Adam & Eve: Okay, God.
Tempter: You could be gods yourselves.
Adam & Eve: Okay.
God: What happened!?
Adam & Eve: We wanted to be in control.
God: Oh no!

THE LAW

God: You are my people; represent Me to the nations. True prosperity and fun come from living and working with Me.
People: We'll do that.
God: Good.

THE HISTORY AND PROPHETS

People: But we wanted to be like all the others.
God: Oh no!
Prophets: Do justice! Represent God properly, or He'll take you away.
People: But we'll still worship God.
God: No! Inner attitude trumps religious observance.
I've a plan to sort that.

THE GOSPELS

Jesus: Father God and I are one; Come to Me, all who suffer.
Healed people: Okay! Thank you!
Jesus: Father God sent Me to sort the world. Live and work with Me, not for yourselves.
Other people: Insult! We don't wanna be sorted. We'll kill you.
Jesus: Father, I complete what You sent me to do.
Father God: Look! Now all can live and work with Me through Jesus.

PENTECOST

God: Hey!, My Spirit can dwell in you who turn to Jesus.
Some people: We're being changed inside! We can live and work with God here and now! Joy! :-))

LETTERS

Paul: Jesus lives through us; We can truly represent God among the people, even if imperfectly.
Peter: We can live and work with God every day; Jesus is worth suffering for!

THE END

Paul: Jews and Gentiles will integrate.
John: Jesus wins! In the New Earth we'll live and work with God all the time, representing Him to the rest of creation, in fun and joy.

THE NEW BEGINNING ...


Think this is better than other attempts?
'Religion Prof': The Bible (TL;DR Version) (which I feel emphasises the negative r.t. positive)
Babylon Bee: The TL;DR Edition of all 66 Books Of The Bible ) (which seems to me to disregard many books in the Bible)
