World renowned as a computer scientist and mathematician (he invented the TEX system for the composition of technical text), Knuth turned his clear and probing mind to a study of the Bible. He used the stratified sampling methodology that had worked for him when tackling other complex subjects and chose to read and learn all he could about the texts found in chapter 3, verse 16, of each book in the Bible. Along with insightful, clearly presented, non- denominational discussion of each sample are the texts themselves executed by a select group of calligraphers under the leadership of the legendary type designer and calligrapher Herman Zapf.
