Manga Metamorphosis begins with Yeshua’s Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It then follows the acts of the apostles that led to the growth of the early Church. It ends with Saul’s persecution of the Church, his dramatic conversion, and his resulting journeys that led him to Rome. You can actually refer to the Manga Bible series for inspiration! Its detailed artwork was beautifully created by the artists after intensive research on biblical cultures, objects and places. The Manga's dialogue format, infographics and storytelling style are valuable resources if you want a fresh and unique angle to share God's Word with your audience. Manga Bible ( Japanese: みんなの聖書 マンガシリーズ = Minna no Seisho - Manga shiriizu, meaning "Everybody's Bible - Manga Series" [1]) is a six-volume manga series based on the Christian Bible created under the direction of the non-profit organization Next, a group formed by people from the manga industry. Though first published in English, the books are originally written in Japanese and each volume is illustrated by a Japanese manga artist. [2] Each book is adapted from the Bible by Hidenori Kumai. The first two books were illustrated by manga artist Kozumi Shinozawa, while the remaining four were by Ryō Azumi.

[23] Reception [ edit ] Or, you can give one to someone who doesn’t know much about Jesus. It is a compelling way to introduce them to the gospel message and engage them to be interested enough to explore the Bible. Manga Messiah is a good start as it portrays the life of Jesus. Manga Genesisseries traces the characters in Genesis in detail and will make a great gift for anyone anytime. The series has 3 books that are available in ebook format as well!

Instead of genealogies in long lines of text, you will see family trees and character profiles like a cast list. Together with colourful infographics and maps, you will find it a breeze to remember biblical facts. Actually, they're graphic novels “adapted from the ancient texts." The challenging headlines summarize the Biblical story in these ways:b) Manga Melech (Exodus to 1 Kings): The story continues from Israel’s wilderness journey to the coronation of King Solomon.

The Manga Bible series is the creation of Next, a non-profit organization created in 2006 to produce and distribution biblically-based manga series for distribution in a multitude of languages worldwide. Next was formed by Roald Lidal, general director of New Life League Japan, pulling together manga publishing and printing professionals from Japan, and includes Japanese manga artists and other professionals in the manga industry. [4] [5] Mokushiroku (Revuereishon) - Kokoro Akareshi Mononoki(黙示録（レヴェレイション）―心開かれし者の記 (Revelation - Chronicle of an open heart)) But Western evangelism, which often hinges on sharing the gospel by giving information, doesn’t work in Japan, said Dorrie Takazawa, Asian Access’s training coordinator for Japan. Each book in the series is initially written in Japanese by Christian Japanese artists, then translated to additional languages and published by regional religious publishers. [4] Each language edition is reviewed by members of regional bible societies before publication, to ensure accurate translation. [4] Media [ edit ]

The series reads “like a manga world history,” said Ikuo Takizawa, a translator at Kurume Bible Fellowship. “It may be helpful for you to review history as a storyline with the help of pictures to get better scores in the term-end exams. But for spiritual or salvation purposes, you need to be touched by the living Word of God.”

If you have been blessed by reading the Manga Bible series, use it to introduce someone to the Bible, or help someone rejuvenate their interest in reading the Bible. e) Manga Metamorphosis (Acts to Paul's Letters): The story covers the acts of the apostles after Jesus' ascension, and the life of Paul. I wonder if Marshall McLuhan’s “the medium is the message” idea is in play here. Is the medium so distracting that it sends a different message than what the content is trying to teach? I’m all for God’s people claiming all things for God and redeeming all things, but are some means of communication too tainted? Whether it’s books, theater, movies, music, animation or television, is there a forum or genre that has too much negative stuff attached to it that makes it unusable for Christians to use to tell the Biblical story? Or is it all good? Manga Mutiny begins with Satan’s Rebellion in the heavens and the Creation of the world. It continues with the Fall of Man, the Flood, and the dispersing of man at Babel. The story then follows the lives of the Patriarchs, thus ending with the life of Moses and Israel’s Exodus from Egypt to the Red Sea. The Manga Bible series was created with the vision to reach out to "those who think the Bible is boring but want to know God" and "children who might resist traditional Bible translations and never attend a church".

Discussions

Usually, presenting the gospel in a popular medium is good evangelism, said Paul Nethercott, a longtime TEAM missionary to Japan and social media coordinator for NEXT. “One vitally important aspect of effective cross-cultural mission work is a contextualized expression of the gospel. [This] series contextualizes the gospel for Japan as well as anything I know of.” c) Manga Messengers (1 Kings to Malachi): The story follows the kings and prophets of Judah and Israel, and ends with the anticipation of a Messiah. The first two books looks very amateurish. The drawings are simple and you will often encounter scenes where people's eyes are set too far apart, while some has their mouth set too high on their faces. The coloring is horrible, due to the fact that everything looks like it was colored in paint. However, the three latter books improves this and gives each manga a more watercolor-like color, which is easier on the eyes. The art is highly improved and handsome/cute characters actually look handsome/cute.
