about Christian theology. They

simply met a man, some of them for

only a brief moment, and they were

changed forever.

Creating an illustrated book about the life of Christ is

both a frightening challenge and a dream come true. As

with all stories that have been told many, many times

before, it is hard to avoid the familiar, well-worn paths.

This is a particular challenge when visually depicting

Jesus himself. In this book, I have aspired to render him

as a man of his time and place and not as a construction

of western idealism. Also, I stripped the story of some

particulars in order to focus on the Miracle Man

himself. There are very important characters who

are not included in this story, for the sake of brevity.

For example, Jesus had important interactions with

Mary Magdalene and Martha and Mary of Bethany.

In fact, women were

the first people

to see the risen Jesus, but my narrative ends

before this moment. Also, some characters are

named, but many are not. These edits and omissions

were not meant to obscure but rather to cast the

familiar in a new light. I regret leaving anything

out, but even the Gospel writer John notes this in

John 21:25: “Now there are also many other things

that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written,

I suppose that the world itself could not contain the

books that would be written.”

Despite being one of the oldest stories humankind

has ever continually told, the story never grows tired

to my ears. Jesus did not remain in the tomb on Easter

morning . . . and the unbelievable story of God Himself

on Earth walked out with him.
