Which Cover Do You Prefer?

I’ve done this before with book covers, so here goes. But please do not use these images on your site.

My friend at Eastern University, Joe Modica, and I are co-editors of a book to be published early next year called Jesus is Lord, Caesar is Not, and it will subject empire criticism to evaluation.

By the way, Friday two Bethel students, both gifted in art studies and one looking to do a PhD in Art History, took me to the airport and I showed them these covers, and they saw loads of ideas in these covers.

But here are two cover proposals. Which do you prefer and why: A (to the left) or B (to the right)?
