Typesetting the Bible Beautifully & Freely - PTXprint with Mark Penny
What do you do when you’ve finished translating a portion of the Bible and want to print it? How do you typeset it? Do you have to pay an outside expert thousands of dollars to make it look beautiful and professional? Or is there another option? My guest in this episode explains how he has spent years of his life making this step painless and free for everyone–from the most low-tech person in a hurry to the most artistic and meticulous perfectionist.

Über Working for the Word - a Bible translation podcast
It's been said that people don't want to know: 1) how sausages are made, 2) how bibles are translated. In this podcast we bravely talk about the latter, go deep into biblical studies, and seek to treasure and understand the Bible together. It's for people who want to get nerdy about Scripture and for those who want to understand how their translations came to be. Everything from history to Hebrew, we're on a quest to learn more and make beautiful translations of God's Word. We believe the Bible is a unified, God-breathed, God-centered, hope-giving book, sweeter than honey, pointing to Jesus.
