The Book Series
The Reign of God is an epic retelling of the Christian gospel stories. Evoking the dynamism of his life and teaching, it reimagines the historical Jesus within a vivid human drama.
The comic’s striking black-and-white brush art emphasizes the true-to-life portrayal of the people and landscape of ancient Palestine. The Reign of God revolves around deep questions not only about faith, but about friendship, courage, and power.
The series is a self-published work, born from an artistic vision and broad research independent from any church organization. Book 1 was released in 2017.
