The centuries-old practice of illuminating scriptural pages with artwork and calligraphy is taking on new meaning. Modern printed Bibles are now available with wide margins and extra pages specifically for the purpose of offering people the opportunity to customize their Bible reading with their own personal artistry and flair in highlighting meaningful passages, creating a family heirloom for future generations.
Responding to this high demand for Bibles with spaces for journaling, Thomas Nelson Bibles and Zondervan Bibles are publishing Scripture in a variety of design options, cover bindings, and Bible translations, including the King James Version (KJV), New King James Version (NKJV), New International Version (NIV), New English Translation (NET), New American Standard Bible (NASB), New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), and more.
In the video below, Melinda Bouma, publisher, Zondervan Bibles (@thenivbible) and Philip Nation, publisher, Thomas Nelson Bibles (@nelsonbibles) discuss the trend of Bible journaling: people taking notes along with drawing illustrations on the pages of Scripture as they read the Bible.
