Klaus Krogh spent 40+ years making Bibles easier to read for all people — his work carries a quiet lesson for every church that distributes Scripture.

The news: Klaus Krogh, cofounder of graphic design firm 2K/Denmark, passed away on October 6 at the age of 74. For more than four decades, he dedicated his career to designing typefaces and layouts that made the Bible more beautiful and accessible — including for people with dyslexia. His typographic work appears in Bibles distributed around the world.

Why it matters for church leaders: In India, millions of first-generation believers and new readers are encountering the Bible for the first time in their heart language. How Scripture is presented — the font, the layout, the readability — directly affects whether people actually read it. Krogh's life is a reminder that accessibility is a form of ministry.

The takeaway: Audit the Bibles and printed materials your church distributes — are they genuinely readable for elderly members, new believers, or those with low literacy?
