Experience the beauty of the Scripture in exquisite full color with The Majestic Illuminated Bible. In the early days of the Reformation, illustrated versions of Martin Luther's new translation were extremely popular as a way for newly literate readers to be drawn into the extraordinary story of the Bible. One publisher of the day commissioned a set of woodcuts to create the very first illustrated Bible to contain a unified art style by a single artist. Those woodcuts have been lovingly restored and reimagined to emphasize their simple elegance, and they appear for the first time in their new incarnation in The Majestic Illuminated Bible. Originally created to provide an immersive experience for new Bible readers, these timeless works of art are now accompanied by beautiful original hand lettering and captions to create a truly unforgettable interaction with the Word of God. Suited for either individual reading and for gift giving, this Bible is both a perfect daily companion and a perfect keepsake. The Majestic Illuminated Bible combines technical craftsmanship, theological symbolism, and stunning color to bring the timelessness and refinement of God's Word to the modern reader. Features include: - Beautifully and timelessly debossed and gilded brown Leatherluxe cover. - 100 four-color Reformation-era drawings- Captions for each illustration- Ribbon marker- Maps in color- Topical verse finder- 9.25pt font for easy legibility
