NIV Heritage Passaggio Setting Bible, Leather, Blue

Passaggio comes from the world classical singing, indicating the shift a performer makes between vocal registers. Likewise, this New International Version Bible shifts between single-column text for prose, and double-column text for poetry.

Vocalists who can seamlessly move from one register to another have mastered passaggio singing, while Bibles that can seamlessly transition from single-column to double-column are in Passaggio Setting.

Passaggio Setting Bibles let the literary structure of each passage dictate the way you see Scripture on each page. The unique use of columns enhances natural readability while also allowing for more efficient use of the page.

This line-matched Bible has a blue buffalo leather cover with raised spine hubs, art-gilt page edges, interior foil gilt line, perimeter stitching, 36 GSM premium European Bible paper, two-color page design from 2K/DENMARK. Plus, the Zondervan Comfort Print font makes for a smooth reading experience with less eye fatigue, so you can open your Bible and stay for a while.
