Illustrierte Klassiker Extra Nr. 3
Die Geschichte von Jesus – Illustrierte Klassiker Extra Nr. 03 Diese Biographie des vor fast 2000 Jahren geborenen jüdischen Wanderpredigers aus Galiläa, der mit seinem Wirken zum Stifter einer Weltreligion wurde, orientiert sich an den Evangelien des Matthäus, Markus, Lukas und Johannes. Die Zusammenstellung der Lebensstationen Jesu stammt vom ehemaligen afro-amerikanischen Missionar und Lehrer Lorenz Graham, der sich dabei an die King James Bibel gehalten hat, die von dem englischen König James I Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Mit ihrer Veröffentlichung in englischer Sprache konnte die Heilige Schrift damals in großer Breite allen englischsprachigen Gläubigen zugänglich gemacht werden. Es waren die beiden amerikanischen Künstler Alex A. Blum und William A. Walsh, die die Vorlage Grahams 1955 als Classics Illustrated Special Nr. 129a stimmungsvoll und sensibel zeichnerisch umgesetzt haben. Als Illustrierte Klassiker Extra Nr. 3 erscheint Jesus Lebensgeschichte in einer zeitgemäßen Sprache nun auch für den deutschsprachigen Raum. Format: Hardcover, 100 farbige Seiten
