===Works about his religious beliefs=== In addition to his writings on computer science, Knuth, a [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]],{{Sfn | Platoni | 2006}} is also the author of ''3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated'',<ref>{{Cite book |last=Knuth |first=Donald Ervin |title=3:16 : Bible texts illuminated |year=1991 |place=Madison, [[Wisconsin|WI]] |publisher=A-R Eds |isbn=978-0-89579-252-5}}</ref> in which he examines the Bible by a process of [[systematic sampling]], namely an analysis of chapter 3, verse 16 of each book. Each verse is accompanied by a rendering in calligraphic art, contributed by a group of calligraphers led by [[Hermann Zapf]]. Knuth was invited to give a set of lectures at MIT on the views on religion and computer science behind his 3:16 project, resulting in another book, ''[[Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About]]'', where he published the lectures ''God and Computer Science''.<ref name="Knuth 2001 Rarely Talks">{{cite book | last=Knuth | first=Donald Ervin | title=Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About | publisher=Center for the Study of Language and Information Publications | publication-place=Stanford, California | date=2001 | isbn=978-1-57586-326-9 }}</ref>
