Review

“Flipping through Alabaster’s Bibles is soothing, intriguing, even inspiring” –Chavie Lieber, Vox
“An Instagram worthy Bible” –Peter Holley, Washington Post
“A Bible for Millenials” –Caleb Parke, Fox News
“In an era of endless Instagram feeds and around-the-clock photo sharing, the timing seems ripe for a beautiful, visually-centered Bible to come into being. Enter Alabaster, a Kinfolk-esque reimagining of the four gospels in the New Testament. The books seem to have fulfilled an unspoken need.” –Antonia Blumberg, Huffington Post
“The Bible Beautiful is a beautiful and engaging new way to look at the Bible and the four gospels was a very good place to start. I believe this format will be particularly interesting to a generation raised on Snapchat, Tumblr, and YouTube. This version should also be much easier to get the unbeleiving or unchurched and those who have been away from church for awhile to read.” –Lucinda Brown, Bible Buying Guide

From the Author

Beauty matters in our understanding of who God is. It was theologian Hans Urs Von Balthassar who once wrote that without beauty, goodness looses its attractiveness and truth loses its cogency. We live in a visual culture. Anyone can make an image and we are shaped by what we see. We value bringing this visual reality to a faith-based context. We believe in the divine inspiration, trustworthiness and authority of the Bible–and we bring this into everything we make and do.Kalos is the word for beauty in the original Greek; it literally means beautiful as a sign of inward goodness. This means beauty isn’t just an aesthetic–it’s a way of going through the world. To live beautifully is to live a life that contributes to human flourishing–in our work, in our relationships, in our communities.

Reflecting on the direction culture was taking toward visual images, innovation and design, an idea was born: create a brand passionate about fully exploring the intersection of creativity, beauty, and faith. Realizing that beauty is a foundational value when talking about creativity and God, they decided to name the company Alabaster, after one of the only times Jesus uses the word beautiful in the Gospels. In Mark 14:1-9, a woman breaks an alabaster jar of incredibly expensive perfume onto Jesus’ head. Many people in the room scoff at her and say what she has done is a complete waste. But Jesus defends the woman saying, “leave her alone, why do you bother her? What she has done is a beautiful thing.” It is this complete act of sacrificial giving which Jesus calls – in the original greek – kalos, which literally means beautiful as a sign of inward goodness. We wanted to have this same level of intentionality and t
