March 28, 2026 EXACTLY 20 YEARS AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER Author Russell Eric Whitfield Emerges as the Mythmaker of Middle America with Multiple Books Redefining Modern Faith. Norman, OK - Russell Eric Whitfield, a bold new voice in contemporary religious literature, is capturing attention throughout Oklahoma with a surge of provocative books that challenge tradition, reframe myth, and offer a distinctly American spirituality rooted in satire, soul-searching, and scripture. His breakout work, Nobles of Norman, introduced 34 mythic children born in Norman, Oklahoma, destined to shape the Second Pastafarian Church. Their sacred origins, prophetic undertones, and allegorical richness have stirred comparisons to The Book of Mormon and American Gods but with a voice unmistakably his own. Whitfield followed this success with Norman’s Outsider, a mythic biography of Andrew Harley Mayes, a wanderer turned prophet whose journey from obscurity to spiritual awakening brings depth and humanity to the movement. In another work, How to Prove or Disprove God, Whitfield pushes boundaries with a modern retelling of 1 Kings 18 which is set in the Colorado Rockies pitting preachers against Humanists in a public trial of divine fire. The result? A deeply ironic, sobering examination of faith’s spectacle and silence. Whitfield’s work continues in this title, The Evolution of Pastafarian Scripture, which contains slowly developed myths based on Pastafarian mythology going back as far as July 21, 2005. Whitfield passionately desires that his theology and cultural philosophy deepen from this canonized Pastafarian Mythos. This is not the Loose Canon. This is the New Canon that becomes effective August 9, 2027. Other versions of the New Canon are out there but this one is Norman specific. Norman, Oklahoma was home to the First Pastafarian Church. Norman, Oklahoma is the Mecca of Pastafarians.
