But as irreverent as the book can be, Preacher fits on this list as another book trying to make sense of the stories and figures of the Jewish and Christian religious traditions, and to chart a personal course forward through their strange and often contradictory demands. In the face of the suffering and corruption we witness in our world and churches, Jesse’s insistence that God needs to be found and held accountable for having abandoned the world resonates so strongly. No matter you like weibo, lofter, wuxiaworld, smut,cosplay, tapa,manhua, or you are anime fanz, you can enjoy bilibili.

I have a fragment of the Gospel of Peter. Then there is also the Gospel of Nicodemus, that I think should be in our Bibles, but it seems like everybody follows Constantine as if he is God himself. There is also a Gospel of Thomas, but it is reported to be Gnostic. One interesting thing is that Thomas said that the sheep that went astray was the biggest sheep. I always thought of it as a little lamb, because when I was a little boy, I saw a beautiful painting of Jesus carrying a little lamb on the side of a rugged mountain. I knew a minister once who went astray, and he turned against me, and left the church. Many years later when I spoke to his first wife, she told me that he had now been married six times. He was a big sheep. Once I knew an evangelist that came against me when I was singing on TV. Many years later I spoke to his first wife, and she was very angry that he had left her. When I last saw him, he had a third wife. He was a big sheep. https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/kingstone-bible-volume-12 But one kind of comic that it can be hard to come by is religious comic books. For instance, you can certainly find retellings of ancient Jewish biblical stories or Catholic lives of the saints that are in comic book format. But generally these end up being something for children to use to learn bible stories. https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-20-what-is-the-importance-of-christian-baptismhttps://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-18-what-does-the-bible-say-about-the-end-of-the-world

Early in life, Art had a real physical connection to prisoners. At the age of four he was walking behind his father who was using a mower. A metal piece flew out and penetrated Art’s stomach and intestines. Rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, he was losing blood, and there was not enough to save him. A local prison brought prisoners to the hospital to donate their blood so he could live. https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/the-patriarchs-3-joseph-1 Will Eisner’s story of a Hasidic Jewish man in a Bronx tenement who rages at God after his daughter dies is a profound retelling of the story of Job. When he was a boy, Frimme Hersh made a contract with God that he would be faithful to everything God has asked of him. So when a child was abandoned on his doorstep as a man, he adopted her as his own and made her “the joy of his years.” Then she developed an illness and died, leaving Hersh to wonder what was the point, and why does he care what God wants anyway? The tale that unfolds is unexpected and also in many ways shattering. https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-15-what-does-the-bible-say-about-ghostsI'm a lifelong Christian, and I'm also an aspiring comic book writer. I really want to create a comic book series or a sequence of original graphic novels dramatizing the Biblical narratives. And not just simply as a teaching tool in children's Sunday School classrooms, but as genuinely high-quality works of fiction with real literary and artistic merit. Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (What scripture?)

https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/the-christ-2-the-announcement-animated-comic A Contract with God is the arguably first graphic novel ever written, one that revolutionized the way that people thought about comic stories. Many of Eisner’s subsequent graphic novels, like A Life Force or Minor Miracles, also touch in some way on issues of faith. And the characters in the tenements that he so frequently writes about always have a sort of biblical parable quality—their beliefs are tested, and they discover beauty in unexpected places. But Contract, which Eisner wrote as an attempt to exorcise the rage he felt over the death of his own daughter from leukemia eight years earlier, is a uniquely powerful story. Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (That is in the writings of Enoch as well.) 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.

While these graphic novels have gone down well with teens and young adults, those in prison have also received them enthusiastically. Art explained that the inmates particularly like this format, as the images bring the text to life for them.
