'A Modern Creation' is based on well known stories from the Christian Bible. It came about by a chance comment from a friend of mine who found that, as a teacher in a fast moving modern society, how difficult it is sometimes to engage people in the language and format of the original or at least translated versions of even the most modern editions of the bible. This is my alternative and creative look at what might have happened to the characters set in a different society and time.
