Revealed: A Storybook Bible for Grown-Ups - Paperback

by Ned Bustard (Editor), Edward Knippers (Illustrator), Tanja Butler (Illustrator)

Instead of cute cartoons of sweet stories, this "storybook Bible" offers gripping artwork-from medieval woodcuts to contemporary linocuts-depicting well-known passages along with those shocking stories that are often hidden from view. Revealed intends to portray the people in the Bible as exactly what they were-rapists, murderers, philanderers, failures, and liars.
