ABSTRACT The affordances of the comic book medium facilitate individual, interpretive readings of narrative and as such challenge the notion of a single message or meaning. This article explores how secondary school students encounter and re-orientate themselves to personal concepts of religious and educational authority and authenticity as a consequence of reading a comic book biblical narrative in a Religious Education lesson. Through this encounter and dialogue with one another, they negotiate these concepts, the meanings of which are necessarily embedded in the social and are thus enabled to take a stance on competing truth claims. This article also considers the implications of rendering sacred texts as comic books.

'他们是真实的故事吗？是的，不，它们不是“使用漫画书来代表宗教教育中的圣经叙事所引发的真实性和权威性问题”

摘要 漫画书媒介的可供性促进了个人的、解释性的叙事阅读，因此挑战了单一信息或意义的概念。本文探讨了中学生如何在宗教教育课程中阅读漫画书圣经叙事，从而遇到并重新定位自己的宗教和教育权威和真实性的个人概念。通过彼此的这种相遇和对话，他们协商了这些概念，这些概念的含义必然嵌入到社会中，从而能够对相互竞争的真理主张采取立场。本文还考虑了将神圣文本渲染为漫画书的含义。
