65/100
👎 Skip It
This is a serious, well-published academic volume from the Society of Biblical Literature, and for scholars of religious education, children's media, or biblical studies it is genuinely valuable — eighteen essays covering everything from manga adaptations to animated films through a rigorous visual-culture lens. For general readers or anyone browsing the children's section, though, this is firmly graduate-seminar territory with a narrow specialist audience and a price to match.
