Interesting idea, but a few decades late to market. There was a 'literary edition' of the Bible published years ago that went much further than this. Dramatic monologues were printed in a blank verse style; poems were printed like poems; there were no cumbersome and intrusive notes; each book had an introduction and historical discussion. A can't imagine it being bettered.
- argimenes 12y agoThe version I was thinking of is 'The Bible / Designed to be Read as Literature'. It doesn't appear to be still in print but can be found on Amazon. From the Amazon description: "Exquisitely redesigned, this Bible is rendered in a readable continuous narrative, arranged in historical order, and is based on extensive scholarship. The text has been restyled to reflect the soul of the different literary forms, from poetry to drama, song to psalms, blended together to create the most widely read document in the world."
