About this listen
God takes a look at the Earth around the time of the Renaissance, and everything looks pretty good - so he takes a holiday. In heaven time this is just a week's fishing trip, but on Earth several hundred years go by.
When God returns, he finds all hell has broken loose: world wars, holocausts, famine, capitalism and "fucking Christians everywhere". There's only one thing for it. They're sending the kid back.
JC, reborn, is a struggling musician in New York City, trying to teach the one true commandment: be nice! His best chance to win hearts and minds is to enter American Pop Star. But the number-one show in America is the unholy creation of a record executive who's more than a match for the Son of God...Steven Stelfox.

A great listen and food for thought fir all. but a Scottish Whisky opportunity missed.
Another great Stelfox story but I wondered if when talking about God drinking a 1989 Scottish malt a reference to the angels share would have worked well, now we know who drinks the 10 percent!!

Brilliant plot, very funny, poor narrator.
not convinced as usual by a flat sounding North American narrator. Nonetheless a great plot and as usual the acidic humour of John Niven is 5 star!

Very funny
Would you consider the audio edition of The Second Coming to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version.
If you’ve listened to books by John Niven before, how does this one compare?
This is my 1st John Niven book & I shall be listening to more.
Which character – as performed by Nick Landrum – was your favourite?
Jesus Christ of course.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could have listened in one sitting if I had the time.
Any additional comments?
Very funny, great satire on modern life & particularly religion. Great performance by the narrator except that his Scottish accent for Saint Andrew is atrocious, especially puzzling as the author is himself Scottish. I can only presume he never got to hear the performance himself.
