The
cover art is bold, clearly visible to those near and far. It bears
the traditional images of the four evangelists in colorful foil: the
angel, Matthew; the lion, Mark; the ox, Luke; the eagle, John.
A two-column page design makes it easy to find the identification
of the reading and the rubrics, thus preventing mistakes in proclamation.
The gospel texts are printed in large 17-point type, arranged in sense
lines. Page turns have been eliminated wherever possible.
The artist, Laura James, lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She
paints Biblical themes in the iconographic tradition of Ethiopian
Christian art. Her work, with its bright colors and intricate patterns
displays a unique style and vision.
