The strong God of Exodus. The ancient poetry of the Psalms, and the
eternal teachings of Proverbs. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and the mystical
beauty of John. The new heaven and earth of Revelation.
Bible verses—an enduring source of guidance, peace, and rejuvenation—are
here given a very special treatment in colorful letterpress
illustrations that bring each phrase to life in a fresh and meaningful
way. The verses are drawn from seven translations (including the New
International Version, The New Revised Standard Version, and The King
James Bible) and arranged in order, beginning with Genesis 1:1. These
selections include 100 of the most distinctly meaningful passages of the
Old and New Testament, made even more powerful through the
transformative lens of art.
Like a contemporary update on
medieval illuminated manuscripts, the book combines the timeless words
of the Bible with timely artwork—in this case, hand-lettering and
illustration in a variety of beautiful styles and remarkable aesthetics
from 25 contemporary artists. It’s a new and vibrant way to experience
the living word.
