A new book entitled And God Decided to Chill has summarised 3,906 Bible sections into tweets, such as translating the sentence from Genesis 'And on the seventh day he rested' into 'Thank God! It's Sunday!'

The German language book, which was launched at the Frankfurt book fair, has compiled more than 3,000 tweets sent to the Protestant website www.evangelisch.de.

These include hypothetical tweets from Jesus such as '40 days without food. Satan doing a full court temptation press. Does he really think he can win?', 'Just healed ten lepers, only one came back to thank me. Nothing worse than ungrateful ex-lepers' and '5 loaves + 2 fishes X the power of God = Fish and Chips for 5,000!'

Melanie Huber, manager of the website, said: 'We want this action to encourage a debate about the Bible and to simultaneously show the modern possibilities that exist to receive and make known the word of God.'

The tweets were sent over a four day period in May just ahead of a bi-annual German Protestant convention.
