OK, I admit the "search and replace" suggestion was a tongue in cheek joke 
To do a proper lipogrammatical text is exhausting, but that is the whole point - it's an intellectual exercise. That French bloke who wrote that novel without using the letter "e". Poncela, who IIRC wrote five novels and in each one omitted one sequential vowel (bet the "u" was the easiest one to write!)
But I don't see why our scribe(s) would have used this literary form in his (their) book. The whole point, really, is to show off to the world (unless there is a religious reason, I suppose, but I don't know of any).
