I didn't go looking for this book. It practically jumped off the shelf at me while I was Christmas shopping one day.
Hello, what's this? Anime Jesus?! ...and he looks like a Samurai superhero?!? Yes, please.
Allow me to preface this review with the following disclaimer:
If you a) have something against the bible, or b) aren't open to the bible being depicted in any format outside of the original King James, this book--and therefore this review--isn't for you. Goeth in peace.
For those of you earnest faith seekers who also happen to be visual learners and/or comic book fans, this book could very well be a Godsend. (...okay, pun intended.) But please bear in mind, this is not a purely illustrated version. Rather, the book is actually a small-print, delicate leaf NLT bible with select redundant sections of manga sandwiched in. The first block of illustration comes at the end of 2nd Samuel, the second begins in the middle of Isaiah chapter 9, and the third toward the end of Luke chapter 13.
The artwork itself is skillful and unobtrusive. There even seems to be a concerted effort toward ethnic accuracy (i.e. no blue-eyed, blonde Jews.) All in all, effective and impactful conveyance without a cheesy aftertaste. I was slightly disappointed they didn't tackle illustrating Revelations...but then again, I can't imagine how trippy that would have turned out. >.>
