Publisher's Synopsis

This tends to make it easier to read longer passages without eye strain. The typeface chosen for the Popular Cross Reference Bible is modern, but is based on the traditional Bible typefaces of the past and is extremely clear.;The design of every element on the page has been carried out to ensure that the result is pleasing to look at, as well as being practical.
