(2) 4-6 These thoughtfully chosen selections from the King James Version, equally divided between Old and New Testaments, trace a reverent path from Creation to Resurrection. Spacious double-columned pages reflect the serious tone and set off the powerfully expressive art. The texts are chosen to appeal specifically to the Christian devout, but Zwerger's illustrations extend their meaning to a more universal human experience.
