I am definitely into Crimson more than Cardo, but they both look pretty great. Do you have any idea what type is used for the prose of this book?

yeah haha, it's really interesting. I've never seen such a thing, even in other Bibles with older typefaces
nope, no colophon
I did discover it's this bible though
There is a Look Inside PDF preview on Amazon if that helps :) click here for Amazon preview.
I agree. But whatever it is, it looks like a lot of Scientific American Library titles share that same typeface (see at the bottom in "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought…")
This is probably not a font - it is probably hand-painted. I can see that the two A's are slightly different, which is a big clue.
Similar digital font, up front: Antique Tuscan
Rambling quasi-lecture:
There are a lot of fonts in a similar style, though - they date from the mid/late 19th century, when there was an explosion of wood type. A lot of wood type styles came back into fashion in the 1960s & 70s.
Some key words to look for are:
Tuscan (which often refers to that concave shape).
Wood Type
Western
American Wood Type: 1828-1900 by Rob Roy Kelly is the classic book on this subject, and is a fun read.
The Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum is an incredible historical resource for wood type. If this is at all interesting to you, and you are anywhere near WI, it's well worth a visit.
The Museum has also published several designs from their collection digitally.
Good thoughts. For reference it’s available on Amazon here: Receive The Holy Spirit https://www.amazon.com/dp/0912631244/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wsADCbB55Q86A
Fair enough. Thanks. I ended up finding the replacement here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056KM6XI/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But that not the font. ;)
Anyways, have some gold!
Miller Display Light Italic, with the letterspacing a bit tightened. See this comparison
Edit I’m not sure if the cover was changed for the rerelease of the book. If it wasn’t changed, then I’m definitely wrong… the book was apparently first published in 1977 but Miller wasn’t released until ~1997
The "90s" is lifted off this
You can see it at this link (just look at the sample): https://www.amazon.com/CIRCE-New-York-Times-bestseller/dp/0316556343/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541431324&sr=8-2&keywords=circe
