Picking up where the nationally praised graphic novel Marked left off, Blinded follows the apostle Paul from persecutor of the early church, to believer and missionary, to his death in Rome. Writer and artist Steve Ross portrays Paul as a driven but flawed visionary, who discovers that faith is not a destination but a journey, ultimately advocating a vision of God that still seems radical thousands of years later…

 ”Nothing, not principalities or countries or jails or presidents or rulers or rules, no, not even religion itself, can separate us from the love of God.”

 To the uninitiated-and perhaps to the uptight-Blinded  may appear blasphemous. But Ross is sincere in his attempt to reconnect Paul’s relevance to today’s world. Says Ross, “It’s no secret that Christians and non-Christians alike often have a real problem with Paul. By his own admission he is deeply flawed, but buried within those flaws is a man driven to find the truth at whatever cost. And the truth is nothing like what he expected to find.”

 Steve Ross is an award winning illustrator whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and is the creator of the graphic novel Marked, a re-imagining of the Gospel of Mark. Marked received extensive coverage in both Newsweek and Publishers Weekly’s Religion Bookline and spread like wildfire through progressive Christian blogs.
