The Holy Bible is first and foremost
intended to be read--with text lovingly designed and simply
set in black type, subtly accented with red. But its
revolutionary impact lies in its illustrations--haunting,
sometimes dark but always luminous, described by Newsweek as
"engravings with the brooding power of magical
realism." Modeled on everyday people, they enrich each
book (which salutes the original with its name printed in
Hebrew or Greek) of both the Old and the New Testament.
