Centuries ago, Johannes Gutenberg could have only imagined the vast customizable possibilities that his movable type printing press would eventually allow in the world of Bible publishing.
He probably wouldn’t have guessed that one day, readers would have access to a vast array of oddly specific choices when it comes to their Bible-reading preferences. From New Testaments designed for various, seemingly random professions to Bibles marketed to every individual member of the family, with options for different marital statuses and levels of extremeness, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Thankfully, we’re here to rank them.
