I'm raising my eyebrows over this, but whatever communication works...

Manga Messiah

Christian Manga, Bible with Japanese Artists Announced
posted on 2007-08-24 14:35 EDT
Five manga volumes in five years, complete Bible with manga "tip-ins"

Tyndale House Publishers announced that it is launching a yearly series of Christian manga drawn by Japanese artists in September, as well as a Manga Bible with three manga sections in November. Amazon lists Hidenori Kumai as the author, with Kozumi Shinozawa and Atsuko Ogawa as the illustrators, of the first manga book, Manga Messiah. The Manga Bible will include the entire New Living Translation of the text with three 32-page manga tip-in sections that summarize the narrative.

Christianity has been covered in the Superbook anime series, and "The God of Manga," manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka, worked with the Vatican on the In the Beginning: The Bible Stories anime series just before he passed away. Gundam character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko created a manga series about Jesus and another about the Catholic saint Joan of Arc. A recent ANN review of a Christian world manga started a discussion on this field.

Weird, but not the first time the Bible has been made into a more kid-friendly format. As long as it's fairly accurate, I suppose.

Its a smart idea to help bridge different generations. But SOME PEOPLE (liberals) are gonna scream about how horribly incorrect this is and, considering they do have house majority, we might be looking at another crusade...

I don't think they will complain about it, unless it's going to be forced on them. But, I can see them egging on fundamentalists to complain of blasphemy, and then smugly shaking their heads "Oh dear, those Neolithic fundies simply can't abide a Japanese take on their Jewish superhero...well, it's all really hogwash, isn't it?"

I wish we could have an internal crusade about anything good, but it would end up like Prohibition, borne out of good intent and causing more crime & suffering than it prevented.
