Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus

Prostitution and Religious Obedience in the Bible : a "graphic Novel" Containing Adaptations of Certain Biblical Stories as Interpreted
Sep 16, 2016FVReader rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
An interesting look at some of the women of the Bible, with an eye on prostitution. There are some interesting interpretations of the stories, customs and cultural views of the time. I find this sort of pondering interesting. Community and/or cultural views have changed over the past 2000 years and the words of the Bible can be obscure & vague....what exactly are the stories saying? Another view or thought is always welcome, I find. The stories within are interesting and a fun read. However, just reading the stories doesn't quite get across the point the author is trying to make. There are about 100 pages of notes and explanations in the back. These are interesting, for sure, and sometimes ramble on a bit much but they do give a very good focus to what the author is portraying in the stories themselves. Together the stories and the notes make a good team. A fun read and an interesting one. As far as graphic novels go, this one is enjoyable and worth the read.
