Graphic Novel Adaptation of John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion"

Dear Locals Patrons,

I am excited to share this news with you all!

For the past year and a half, I've been working intermittently on a very special project: a graphic novel adaptation of John Calvin's influential work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion." I have been working with Martin Williams (Lecturer in New Testament and Greek at RTC Austraila) who is adapting Calvin's work into a graphic novel script, and this project will be published through P&R Publishing.

As I continue to bring this classic to life in a new and visually engaging format old and new readers of Calvin, I want to involve you in the journey. Over the next few months, I'll be posting regular updates on the progress of the graphic novel, sharing insights into the creative process, and offering sneak peeks of finished pages. These previews will be exclusively available to my subscribers as a token of my appreciation for your ongoing support.

If you’re not already a subscriber, now is the perfect time to join. Don’t miss out on the behind-the-scenes content and exclusive sneak peeks!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, and thank you for joining me on this incredible journey!

Your cartoonist in Christ,

Paul Cox

The Gospel Plough

My newest motion comic based on Spurgeon's plough quote in one of the most recent comic strips.

Here's the quote:

"The best plough in all the world is the preaching of the gospel. Leave a village without Christ crucified , and it soon becomes a great tangle of thorn, and briar, and brake, and bramble; but when sound and sensible preaching comes, it tears all up like a steam plough, and the change is something to sing about."

This quote comes from Spurgeon's book, John Ploughman's Pictures.

NEW Flavel Toon

It's been awhile, but I just finished a brand new toon featuring John Flavel. The quote is from his book, "Keeping the Heart," and is about cleaning house, so to speak, in your heart in order to keep you focused on Christ.

Enjoy!
