James 5:13-20

These are the final pages of the comic translation of James!

It has been a project one and a half years in the making, spanning two thousand years of Christian history, a true labor of love.

The project has challenged me to look deeper into my heart and my faith and seek to follow Christ in word and deed. Jame's message is not an easy one, but it resonates with a truth that is needed in our day, as it has always been needed.

The project has also given me the opportunity to venture into new territory for comic translation of the bible. I believe there is so much potential in this field, and we have only scratched it.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have on James. Please feel free to comment here, or send me an e-mail at earleygraham@aol.com.

Comic Translation of James 5:1-6

This scene depicts the words of James in 5:1-6 in the setting of 19th century Mexico. The greed and corruption of many landowners, and their oppression of workers seemed like a fitting picture for this passage in James.

Comic Translation of James 4:11-12

I used the history of colonial America for this passage, and because I live in a town that has preserved it's heritage, could actually draw from real buildings. In the 18th century, the Bible was used to teach children to read, as well as to train them to grow in wisdom and faith. There were schools, but most children would be instructed at home.

A pdf file of this passage is found on my website: http://www.earnestillustrations.com/. (I find the quality in the pdf s to be superior to the jpegs that I can fit on this page.) All of the previous comic translations of James are there as well.

Next stop in the James translation: Trade in China in the 19th century.

As I work through the translation of James, I am trying to depict the ways that the Bible has been transmitted from generation to generation. This scene shows the text being printed on the printing press.
