The Comic Book Bible

Product Information

This book aims to investigate how the production, format, and function of comic Bibles encourages the depiction of biblical characters from a contemporary perspective, while also showing some fidelity to the text. This graphic novel is penned and illustrated with the highest respect to the Holy Bible as a reliable and God-breathed document - the Word of God. Remediating ancient, biblical text into modern, graphical comic books affects the reception of the text in several ways. Kingstone subscribes to and believes the physical evidence points to a younger earth view in regards a divine and unique generation of all created life.

He was also consultant on BBC's ground breaking doc-drama, Atlantis, and a finalist in the Sermon of the Year 2016 competition run by London School of Theology and Preach magazine. They completely understand that it is not a "Bible" and will never replace it, but it piques their interest so much, that they run to the Scriptures to read more details on their favorite stories. Using examples from both secular and religious comic Bibles, and comic Bibles aimed at children and older audiences, Zanne Domoney-Lyttle now fully considers contemporary remediations of biblical narratives to the same degree. Adapted from passages in the Old and New Testaments, The Comic Book Bible includes the stories parents want their children to know - but in a format that everyone will want to read again and again! I'd hoped the text woud be easy read but I don't think thoses who struggle to read will persevere with it.Children will love reading this exciting retelling of the life of Jesus in this two-volume comic series! The biblical book of Esther is presented faithfully, word-for-word, without editing or sugarcoating the narrative. There are so many Bible comic books available that the last thing we needed was another ill-attempted work to pander to children to hopefully get them to read some watered down version of Scripture. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that is has now been adapted in the comic book format, bringing to life the pages of the Bible in a new way. The vivid, detailed pictures are illustrated by José Pérez Montero – the artists who also did The Children’s Bible that now is sold in more than 6 milllion copies in more than 90 languages mainly due to beautiful, accurate and all-round accepted artwork.

Luke's Gospel is one of the most influential pieces of literature in Christianity, religion and history of all time!The unabridged story is illustrated in a bold contemporary style but remains as faithful to the Old Testament scripture as possible. This comic uses the New International Version (NIV) translation of the Bible and includes every word of the Bible. The mission of /r/Comic_Crits is to provide holistic feedback to comic creators based on the understanding that a comic is not just 'writing plus art', but rather a unique combination of both, bound together with elements of graphic design, layout, timing, 'cinematography,' and more. This graphic novel presents every word, chapter and verse, within its historical, cultural and geographical context. Featuring the best selling English Bible translation, the NIV, with verse numbers at the bottom of each page.
