I did a quick search and it would seem that I have been a little remise. A minister and a comic book nerd and I haven’t ever blogged about the Manga Bible. Of all the different reinterpretations that I have mentioned before you would have thought I would have mentioned this sooner!
There are all sorts of different editions. Of the many attempts to make a comic book out of the Bible and many fall short. However, I have found the manga bible to be a faithful not only to its genre but also to the biblical texts. As always, not a replacement for the original texts but a way of reimagining them.
Today, Church House Bookshop have announced the Manga Jesus. No doubt this will be just as good.
