new modes of seeing and understanding the sacral. Comics and graphic narratives help
readers see religion in the everyday and in depictions of God, in transfigured, heroic
selves as much as in the lives of saints and the meters of holy languages. Coeditors
Ken Koltun-Fromm and Assaf Gamzou reveal the graphic character of sacred narratives,
imagining new vistas for both comics and religious texts. In both visual and linguistic
forms, graphic narratives reveal representational strategies to encounter the sacred
in all its ambivalence. Through close readings and critical inquiry, these essays
contemplate the intersections between religion and comics in ways that critically
expand our ability to think about religious landscapes, rhetorical practices, pictorial
representation, and the everyday experiences of the uncanny. Organized into four sections--Seeing
the Sacred in Comics; Reimagining Sacred Texts through Comics; Transfigured Comic
Selves, Monsters, and the Body; and The Everyday Sacred in Comics--the essays explore
comics and graphic novels ranging from Craig Thompson's Habibi and Marvel's X-Men
and Captain America to graphic adaptions of religious texts such as 1 Samuel and the
Gospel of Mark. Sacred Texts and Comics shows how claims to the sacred are nourished
and concealed in comic narratives. Covering many religions, not only Christianity
and Judaism, this rare volume contests the profane/sacred divide and establishes the
import of comics and graphic narratives in disclosing the presence of the sacred in
everyday human experience."--Provided by publisher
