I appreciate that different ways of engaging with story seem to involve different parts of the brain, creating, in my view, a more robust whole understanding. Audio books, traditional print, and these kinds of wonderful illustrated works have had different and important impacts on my assimilation of what I’ve read, so I appreciated your comments on the way this version affected your reading of the Bible. Also, I grew up with an emphasis on recitation and it’s hard to beat the oratory quality of the KJV translation!
That is a beautiful Bible with striking illustrations. I also enjoyed your comments on the KJV itself. For many of the same reasons, I have adopted it for personal study and memorization. It truly is the “noblest monument of English prose” and the greatest book ever written.
I have been digging around a bit more into Barry Moser’s work and found this amazing interview: https://conversatio.org/in-the-face-of-presumptions-an-interview-with-barry-moser/
If you haven't already read it, it’s so good!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I had not seen this before.
