A new TikTok account is rewriting Bible scriptures in Gen Z lingo, giving the ancient word a modern twist.
Since it launched in March, the account, Gen Z Bible Stories, has amassed nearly 400,000 followers while drawing amusement –- and some shade –- for its take on the Good Book.
The Gen Z version calls Mary a “pick-me girl,” a term for a woman who is trying too hard to win male attention.
The TikTok account has an accompanying book – “The Gospel by Gen Z” – that features 50 Bible stories rewritten in modern slang.
Arunda said those things get lost in the Gen Z Bible version.
