Bible Typography Manifesto Signatories, Rejoice

It's time you checked out the amazing new project called Bibliotheca. A full-fledged typography nerd and Bible-lover has put together a truly groundbreaking reader's edition of the Bible.

Very insightful, penetrating. A must-read for a generation of (often ex-) fundamentalists who are, I think, often a little too harsh on those who nurtured them. Our leaders from those days will have to give an account for their teaching and their actions, and I don't want...
