It's the Bible, But not as you know it, Jim.According to the BBC:
Most people think of the Bible as a densely printed book with no pictures, but a version of the scripture that resembles a glossy coffee table magazine aims to change that. It's part of a wave of radical presentations of the Bible, including a manga version and a Lego gospel. But how do Christians feel about these attempts to spread the word?
It's the kind of magazine you might find in a doctor's waiting room next to Cosmopolitan or Reader's Digest. On the front is a pale face heavy with mascara. A flick through throws up striking images: urban flooding, a Nigerian abattoir, a girl eating noodles, a pooch in a limo.
It's only when and if you get round to reading the text that the incongruity strikes you: "Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven." What kind of problem page is this?

I think any contemporary attempt at spreading the teachings of the Bible, albeit with a 'glossy' and a 'modern' twist, if for the glory of God, can help bridge the gap between God and people and is surely a positive thing!? And perhaps not as radical or new as people may think. But without knowing the real content behind a picture of pamper poodle in a car, I don’t think I can fully comment.
