Well, apparently we aren't buying enough NIVs, so Hodder and Stoughton have gone for a radical (?) new cover design by Unreal.

Here's what Unreal are reported as saying about it....

'Our concept was to bring the inside to the outside,' says [Brian] Eagle [designer]. 'Typography is the best way to express the new look - nothing photographic, as that would be leading people in a different direction. We came up against quite a few obstacles such as which type of cross to use, but we interviewed vicars and researched this with various parts of the Christian community, and thought about different approaches.'

Instantly I found myself recalling saying 22 of the Gospel of Thomas - about which I once wrote an essay -

Jesus saw some infants at the breast. He said to his disciples: These little ones at the breast are like those who enter into the kingdom. They said to him: If we then be children, shall we enter the kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inside as the outside, and the outside as the inside, and the upper side as the lower; and when you make the male and the female into a single one, that the male be not male and the female female; when you make eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then shall you enter [the kingdom].

So there you have it!  Gnostic influences in Bible cover design; love it!
