A note on the graphic translation- unlike Jonah, Esther, Amos, or the parables, “James” is not a story. It is a letter written very broadly to the church.
It gives concrete images and understandings on wisdom and how to live faithfully. In creating this visual translation, I have taken the address literally, as a message for the church spread throughout the world, and throughout time.
The chapters move from the first century to the 21st, following the spread of the church as it carries out its mission.
