A man wakes up one morning and decides he must kill himself. He is angry with himself for not hitting his wife every time she has an independent thought (as Abraham and Moses would have done). After she dies and God reveals to him that he is the new Prophet
the man takes a new wife
dresses her in slave chains
and begins to preach his newfound gospel of male domination. Simultaneously humorous and disturbing
Bradshaw's Prophet explores controversial issues in startling and unexpected ways.
""Fasten your seatbelts.

Thomas Bradshaw's lacerating satire ...hurtles from rambunctious mockery to real horror.
This is situation satire with a vengeance...""-The New York Times
