Personally I think it adds to my childhood New Testament cover to put P-chan in Jesus' lap. Haven't gotten around to the other Ranma and Urusei Yatsura stickers, but I think Rei would look good on the back cover, and Lum floating behind Jesus' head. My Grandmom gave me this in 1967. It would take me 31 years and full time employment in tech support to comprehend where the violence of the Psalms was coming from...
The Chiquita sticker dates to somewhere around 1968...a font fanatic could narrow it down.

That's some bad cover art there, folks...if I could only paint that good I would blow myself up...well, maybe first I'd get another job. But it works OK considering the audience is 3 year olds like me, first learning those important phrases like "O Lord, may Thy spear find my enemy's skull, yea, the place where it joineth the top of his spinal column, and may it pierce his nerves, yea, unto the spinal cord itself, severing it as he plummeteth to earth. And may Thy vengeance revel in his blood and fluids that speweth out, yea, even the gall and bile of my enemy O Lord, that speweth out into the dry earth, the earth that drinketh all that is spilled on it..."
Now don't get me wrong. I used to think this kind of stuff was bloodthirsty. Well, it is. But I thought there wasn't a good reason to thirst for the blood and bile and gall of the people I knew in everyday life. That was before I worked in tech support and realized that a lot of people need to be run through by the spear of the Lord, which pinneth their worthless carcasses to the dry earth, as the apes of Gath-Sheber pummel them with baseball bats. Yeah, Psalms are pretty good reading when you work in tech support, and many other jobs besides.

The same cover art? That would be remarkable...just having a New Testament n' Psalms wouldn't, though, freaks hand you one every day around these parts. "Thanks for the rolling papers, man!" I've never tried smoking a Bible joint...I'd be afraid it would be like the time Phineas* rolled the toilet paper joint and started the forest fire...
