Barry Moser is a big bear of a man with a full, white beard and the Tennessee accent of a Bible Belt preacher (which, at 19, is exactly what he was). He's also a master book designer, illustrator, publisher and virtuoso wood engraver. Now, he has completed the project of a lifetime, the typographer's and illustrator's Everest. Barry Moser has done the Bible - the only Bible of the 20th century to be illustrated by a single artist. This film tells the story of Barry Moser and his visually stunning, intensely personal interpretation of Western Civilization's central text. It's a film about a man using an engraving tool to separate light from dark; about throwing new light on an ancient text; about typography, words, images, paper, printing and binding. This is also a funny, quirky take on a fascinating clash of opposites - a "heathen" meeting the Bible, and a medieval craft dissolving into today's computer imaging technologies. "This delightful award-winning documentary...engenders a deep/appreciation for the quiet power of Moser's illustrations." The Library Journal "A spirited look at a truly ambitious endeavor - demystifies the artistic process." -The Valley Advocate.
