But how successful these versions are at doing that is another question. The makers of the Bible Illuminated claim it has increased sales of Bibles by 50% in Sweden - though we are not told over what timescale. A version that could achieve such figures in the UK would be one of the most surprising Bibles yet.

Of course there is nothing wrong with 'translating' the Bible for different sub-cultures... this is after all what Christians have always done. It is just now we can add a glossy finish :o) No matter how you present it in the end and to who the message is still the same and will never change; its always relevant! Help keep us away from all the nasty, evil stuff, and keep that dodgy Satan away from us, ‘cos you’re much stronger than ‘im. So, ironically, Soederberg's attempt to popularise the Bible by getting away from its traditional format is exactly what the people who created that format were doing. Here, he retells nine stories from the Old Testament, and translates Mark's Gospel verse by verse. He ends with the Lord's Prayer-"the prayer that Jesus taught 'is chinas"--which could leave traditionalists writhing in their pews: "You're the Boss, God, and will be for ever, innit?"

About Me

This one got the seal of approval of Rowan Williams's predecessor George Carey, who grew up in London's East End, so must have known what he was rabbit and porking about. This arresting title is the work of the XXXChurch, an organisation that on the one hand helps people addicted to porn, while on the other hand taking the gospel into the porn industry. They print this Bible to give out free at porn shows and industry conventions, distributing over 15,000 in 2007. He, however, welcomes it with open arms. "You have to understand that what we think of as the traditional serious-looking leather-bound Bible is actually a relatively new format. In the Middle Ages, picture books - with people in contemporary dress - were the way most people read the Bible.

Many Christians across the Middle East are silenced because they follow Jesus. They can't always celebrate His birth freely and openly like we can. Jesus got up from his little feather and shouted at the wind, “Oi, be quiet!” and he said to the waves, “Oi, be still!” The wind suddenly died dahn, and it became really calm. Jesus then said to his chinas, “What is it with you lot? Why were you all so frightened? Do you still not have faith?” I'm sorry Sharon, Croydon thinks it is sacrilege. I'm a Methodist preacher and am very happy for the Bible to be presented in any way that enhances interest and understanding. I think God has a sense of humour, too. As I'm an artist as well as a Christian, I like them. One of our Sunday school kids has a manga bible. I've also bought a version of the Graphic bible. People are more likely to read a glossy magazine format, than something too wordy. As long as general doctrine isn't compromised.

Bible Reading Fellowship is a charity (233280) and company limited by guarantee (301324), registered in England and Wales. The publicity for me was just all great fun, and the kids loved it as well, with lessons being filmed, children being interviewed... and then the book was finally published there was even more publicity. I remember being well looked after by Karen Laister from BRF. As I say, I just found the whole time such fun. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this new wave of Bibles is how sympathetic the church is to people messing about with its sacred scriptures, whether in wording or binding, no doubt reasoning that there can be some good in anything that gets people hearing its stories. And then, would you Adam and Eve it, a huge wind started to blow up, and the waves got so bloomin’ big that they began to spill into the nanny. It got to the stage where the nanny was almost gonna fill up with fisherman’s.

Over the next few weeks and months, all the national papers were interested, as were TV stations, BBC News, ITV News and more. With all that publicity, I received a letter from BRF showing interest in my idea, and the rest, as they say, is history.
