quote:

Bibliotheca is the realization of Greene’s long-held desire to help others discover the Bible. The premise is at once simple and daring: to lay out the Bible as a collection of literature, rather than a single encyclopedic volume. Bibliotheca consists of four volumes, three for the Old Testament and one for the New. There are no chapter divisions, no verse numbers, and no annotations. Greene hopes this will transform the biblical text, making it as easy to read as a New York Times bestseller. This newly arranged Bible isn’t meant to appeal to a particular demographic, nor is it intended to replace the more traditional format. Instead, Greene is targeting anyone who wants to "enjoy the biblical library anew, as great literary art," and believes his creation could make people question "the ubiquity of the encyclopedic form."

Removing the annotations is just not a good idea for these ancient documents.

There are already many "reader friendly" translations of the Bible. Dividing the Old Testament is not a bad idea, although just about anyone with a cursory education of the Old Testament knows that there are different types of literature that fall into separate general groups.

This simply will not happen.
