I am working on an extensively illustrated edition of the four gospels in the Celtic style. One reason is my admiration of Jesus' message. The other is to hopefully stem the tide of conservative Christian hatred that seems to be growing in the United States, I sense they concentrate more on the violent and repulsive passages of the Bible to shore up their fear and hatred of anyone who doesn't fully agree with them. I know if they would only give the gospels more attention they would realize their errors. To this end I will humbly present my gospels in the Celtic style to get America to be attracted to them and actually read them, and hopefully to move further on to study them in their historical context and languages. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. This is a typical page, one from the Sermon on the Mount, which I'm posting to hopefully let my Flickr friends give me feedback on. Although I can't take credit for the font, all the illustrations are done by me. Is it too empty? Do you like the drop shadows on the illustrations? Is the font too busy? Any comment would be appreciated.
Thanks folks!
