Making a modern Bible is difficult. Adam Greene, creator of Bibliotheca, learned the intricacies of the process through two years of production delays. His project to create a four-volume, single-column Bible cost $1.4 million. But to transform the Bible from its familiar reference-packed pages to a format more like a novel was far more complicated than removing chapter and verse numbers and footnotes. He sorted design elements and materials, and had to present a text that had remained the same for generations into a new format. With the help of copy editors, Bible scholars, and proofreaders, Greene used a revised American Standard Version, changing archaic words and updating verses whose translations have improved. Then came the typesetting and spacing. Adam said, ‘What I did not expect was that, through this process, my admiration and reverence for the text deepened tenfold. This literature is so complex and interwoven. The deeper I dig, the more I discover.’
