Sacred and Sequential‘s own Elizabeth Coody was featured by the Sioux City Journal this past week for her work at Morningside College and recent participation in the “Graphic Novels and Comics across the Humanities” conference. Food and Lifestyle reporter Earl Horlyk notes Dr. Coody’s astute observation that illustrations of Jesus as Caucasian or even quite muscular say “more about an artist’s interpretation than anything in the Bible.”

Additionally, S&S would like to further applaud our colleague for the wonderful sentiment behind her quote: “Well, I think it’s a sin to depict Jesus as dull.”
