Does That Bible Come in Rose Gold?

The other day, in the garage of a yellow town house in South Los Angeles, half a block from the Santa Monica Freeway, Brian Chung and Bryan Ye-Chung considered several bouquets of flowers hanging in midair, alongside a book, against a pink backdrop. The book was the Gospel of Matthew. The pair were designing an Easter photo shoot for Alabaster, their new iteration of the Holy Bible, which resembles a high-end minimalist magazine. The aesthetic is less religious text, more Instagram influencer. "Christianity today has sort of a bad rap," Chung said. "The evangelical space is very much connected with Trump. We want to show there's a wider spectrum of Christians. We aren't your stereotypical Bible-bangers, holding the 'God Hates You' sign."
