Lunch & Learn: How Design Impacts the Way We Read the Bible

This Lunch & Learn features Adam Lewis Greene, founder of Writ Press and the creative force behind Bibliotheca, an acclaimed multi-volume edition of the Bible.
Adam will delve into a provocative question: Why is the Bible often bound and formatted more like a reference book or technical manual rather than the literature it is? Through a detailed discussion on the design of biblical texts—from materials and production to formatting and fonts—he will argue for the return to a type of presentation rooted in antiquity, one aligned more closely with the Bible’s inherent nature as literature, and why he believes it can enhance our interaction with it as readers.
