Or if you are a near-sighted Bible nerd like me, with your naked eye. The rest of us can just pick up our “cheaters” and read it just fine. I don’t think anyone will struggle to read the modern font, except those with really bad eyes (you know who you are). But believe me, this is pretty good stuff. China versus Jongbloed?
