NIV, Heritage Bible, Passaggio Setting, Comfort Print: Elegantly uniting single and double columns into one Bible design

Elegantly Uniting Single and Double Columns in One Bible

Passaggio Setting Bibles elegantly shift between the visual beauty and clarity of a highly readable single-column text for prose and a clean double-column text for poetry. The term passaggio comes from the world of classical singing, describing the shift a performer makes between vocal registers.

Vocalists who can skillfully move from one register to another have mastered passaggio singing.

Bibles that can skillfully move from single-column to double-column are in Passaggio Setting.

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