ALABASTER Beauty Bible



What We Believe
Beauty matters in our understanding of who God is. We live in a visual culture.
Everyone makes images 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.
Alabaster bibles Q&A
AlabasterThe Bible is an aesthetic Bible with visual images, like an art /life magazine.
Alabaster It was founded by two young Chinese Christians studying visual design in Los Angeles, USA. (Bryan Chung & Brian Chung)The Chinese version of the Bible has been distributed in Asia since last year.
FounderBrianWhen I received my first copy of the traditional Bible at the University Fellowship, I thought the layout was tight and dense, the thin paper and the plain black cover looked serious and intimidating, not friendly enough for the young generation who live with a lot of images, so the Bible designed and published by them looks like a textured life magazine, and this design is indeed inspired by the independent magazines that you and I are familiar with《Kinfolk》with《Drift》,Therefore, in addition to adding a large number of pictures, they have also changed the text to an easy-to-read and modern sans serif font, and deliberately used a large amount of white space to create a sense of tranquility when reading, bringing the reader more room for reflection. We also hope to reach more people with the Gospel. We hope to bring the Gospel to more people, especially young Chinese people, so that they can get rid of their prejudice against the Bible.

Our creative team conducts biblical research and original design/graphic production, and most of the works are designed and photographed by the founders themselves. Each book has a theme color, for example, the Psalms portrays different rich and natural moods, so we use various earth tones (green, brown and tan) to echo each other in the process. Therefore, the whole production process usually takes about5months.
Our bibles are printed in Hong Kong and Canada
