Synopsis

Barry Moser has spent four painstaking years hand creating, designing and illustrating a magnificent Bible published in the USA in a limited edition at $10,000 each. Now, for the first time available to a broader public in a trade edition of the same superb caliber and vision. First and foremost it is designed to be read, with text designed and simply set in black type subtly accented with red. But its revoltuinary impact lies in its illustrations - described by Newsweek as 'engravings with the brooding power of magical realism.' Modeled on every-day people, these cast scenes from millennia past - from Jonah and the whale to the Last Judgment - in a thought-provoking vernacular idiom.
