Why I Backed a Kickstarter Effort to Redesign the Bible

YAHOO TECH
By Rob Walker

The Old Testament gets divided into three: the “books of Moses and the former prophets”
; the “latter prophets”; and the “writings.” The fourth volume is the New Testament. 

UTAH---Someone is redesigning the Bible. Perhaps your reaction is similar to mine when I encountered this news: somewhere between a smirk and an eye roll. Is there nothing that designers don’t want to reenvision? Does the most popular book of all time really need an aesthetic overhaul?And yet, roughly 20 minutes after I instinctively dismissed the idea, I had backed it on Kickstarter. [Lewis] Greene’s solution involves splitting the Good Book into four volumes, each about the size of a standard hardback novel.

Lewis Greene has also made a new typeface and eliminated verse numbers and notes.
