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. 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. Aronson, Michael (2007-09-01). "PR: Manga Messiah and Bible". Manga Life. Silver Bullet Comics.

It is why Japanese churches are built to look like Western constructs, and most songs sung in church are translated from other languages,” he said. “In the hearts and minds of most Japanese, including Christians, Christianity is a Western religion. If the gospel is contextualized, it makes devout Christians feel uncomfortable.” Wilson, Bruce (2008-06-12). "Bruce Wilson: Hagee Mass-Marketed Hitler's Favorite Conspiracy Theory".
