After Chapters & Verses: Engaging the Bible in the Coming Generations
This book captures the thinking behindThe Books of the Bible, an edition from Biblica and Zondervan that removes chapter and verse numbers and section heads and instead presents the biblical books according to their natural literary outlines.  In the book I tell the story of the experiences I had that allowed me to make a vital contribution to the development of the edition as part of a skilled and visionary team.  I also tell how the pioneering "initial adopters" of the format have already begun to transform what it means to engage the Bible through their new approaches to reading, studying, preaching, and teaching.  I'm convinced that we need to move into a new era of Bible engagement, "after chapters and verses," if we want the coming generations to appreciate the Bible as much as previous ones did. This is the story of the dawning of that era.
