The Comic Book Bible

Product Information

Donald Richie. A Tractate on Japanese Aesthetics. Berkeley: Stone Bridge Press 2007. ISBN 978-1-933330-23-5 These images are intended to help you ‘see’ the scenes written in the Bible, by those who walked and talked with Christ. To help you imagine them as they could have happened, and to give you a chance to put yourself in their position. https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-11-is-there-such-a-thing-as-absolute-truth I read an article in 2009 by a Vatican archaeologist who found all this artwork in the catacombs, and he basically said it's all just a big advertisement trying to get people to repent. And when I would go to Barnes & Noble, I'd see all these kids spread out all over the floor reading graphic novels. So we really felt, with this big problem of biblical literacy, that this would be an effective way to communicate the whole biblical narrative. https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-19-how-did-all-the-animals-fit-in-the-ark

[11] He is currently working on a three volume book called The Manga Jesus. The first volume was released in November 2008. [22] See also [ edit ] Scripture does not shy away from it, and neither should God’s people. Also, the Bible provides the answers to every difficult and perplexing human situation. We want people to understand that Scripture has some amazing things to say and helps us make sense of our world and culture today.”https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/revelation-2-tribulation

Kingstone donates its popular products to prisons and juvenile centres. Some prisoners and chaplains have written to thank them, saying they are the most requested and passed-around products in the prison. Prisoners’ blood was used to save Art’s life; he now gets to share with prisoners about the blood of Jesus, which can truly save their lives, eternally.

"These make reading the Bible fun."

I was really inspired by The Chosen TV show, and I would really like to create a comic book or an original graphic novel which relates the stories contained within the Bible in a manner which is also a genuinely high-quality creative work.

https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/kingstone-bible-volume-7 Do you think there could be a demand for something like that in Christian circles? I've been studying other comic book versions of the Bible, and as someone who has been writing and reading comics for a long time, they don't tend to be particularly high-quality comics. (See my above desire to make something which is more than a Sunday School teaching aide.) Besides the serialization of the biblical narrative that you mentioned earlier, is there anything else about this project that you are particularly proud of? https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/kingstone-bible-volume-3https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-5-is-the-resurrection-a-true-story There are also several examples where contemporary ideas come in. In the Book of Job, Job asks himself, how he could have deserved his faith, when a bomb labeled “Fat Man” hits his house. [16] Siku also includes maps in the Old Testament for example to show the journey of the Exodus. In the New Testament Jesus is tempted by the devil, who promises him the power over the world represented by contemporary New York and parts of other modern cities. Indeed, several of the graphic novels cover the descent of all mankind from Adam and Eve, created in God’s image. This means that all people are precious in God’s sight. Art has recognized this in some very practical ways. One was the acquisition of a local motel through his church, subsequently renamed The Samaritan Inn, which now houses homeless families. Additionally, he was the founding executive director of the Community Medical Care Center in Leesburg. This is a no-cost medical clinic for the poor, now staffed by 50 doctors and numerous volunteer health professionals. It serves over 7,000 people annually. Combating racism with Adam and Eve For decades, Christians have been adapting Bible stories and Christian-themed content for the comic book format. From The Cross and the Switchblade and the In His Steps series in the ‘70s to the Bibleman series and VeggieTales series in the ‘90s, Christian comic books have continued to occupy a consistent, albeit marginal, space in the ecosystem of evangelical consumer content.
