About the Bible Design Group

In 2003 Biblica assembled the Bible Design Group for the purpose of exploring and producing a new visual presentation of the Bible. The group is made up of consultants from the fields of Bible design and typesetting, biblical studies, global missions and active pastoral work, as well as Biblica's editorial and graphic design staff.

The Bible Design Group sought out input and suggestions from many others: Bible scholars, specialists in translation and Bible publishing, pastors, parachurch ministry leaders, those using the Bible in evangelism and outreach, Bible study and church education groups, graphic designers, long-time Bible readers as well as those encountering the Bible for the first time.
