Sorry, can't help you with the font but, I don't think it would take much research to find it.
I saw the bible this morning too and it reminded me of a box/book that I made for a friend a few years ago. It sure ISN'T a bible but, it might give you some ideas for other box's/books for you to make and ways of making them.

I don't remember what font I used on this one either.
