Show Notes:59. Adam Lewis Greene — Redesigning Your Bible Reading Experience

Adam Lewis Greene is the designer behind the Bibliotheca project. The Kickstarter campaign raised more than 1.4 million dollars to fund a reader-friendly, multi-volume publication of the Bible. It continues to be one of the top Kickstarter campaigns and garnered national attention from the Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, The Verge, World, and Christianity Today.

In our conversation, we discuss how the design of our Bible’s impact the way we read them. We discuss approaches to translations and how to best handle complex literary features.

Also, Adam generously offered a 15% discount on the Bibliotheca products for Pastor Writer listeners. You can use the promo code “WRIT15PW” to save $25 off the paperback set, $30 off the clothbound set, or $48 off the clothbound set w/ slipcase.

  • Lemu Emu and Doug. Their idea for trick or treating… @libertymutual
  • Another successful tournament for Will. This kid trains five nights a week at Jiu Jitsu. His work ethic, discipline, and toughness amaze me. And a special things to @treycarterjj at @dynastyjiujitsu . Best coach and best gym there is.
  • Horse fieldtrip today. Ashley getting to nerd out on horses.
  • Wear a fake mustache and get free tickets to the Springfield Cardinals. We were in.
  • Free hotdog night. Will did damage and the cardinals won in extra innings.
  • Last day and the best cup of Turkish coffee.
  • Cave churches in Cappadocia where some of the oldest monastic communities lived. Also the homes of the Cappadocian fathers and mothers.
  • People think if the ancient world as white marble but most of the statues and buildings we see would have been brightly painted. On some of these walls and reliefs you can still see the original colors. The ancient Roman world would probably have been gaudy to our tastes.
