As I was reading my Bible, a random thought struck me. I was using Logos, and the text was nice and large, and scrolls forever to the top and bottom. I realized that I had no sense of how much space the portion I read would take up in a "normal" Bible, and I thought how that would be very upsetting to some people. Making the transition from print to digital makes Bible reading just not the same thing! Turns out that the "normal" Bible we are used to is obviously quite far from the original scriptures. They had no chapter or other headings, bold print or italics, not even chapters or verses, for the most parts no book titles like we have today, and most importantly, they came on scrolls. So all of you paper-lovers: those of us who like to read their Bible on the computer aren't really any further from the original way than y'all!
So, there.
