We are pleased to share the exciting news that the Saint John’s Bible now has a permanent home at Berea College.&nbsp; Its first introduction to the community was in the reading of the Nativity story during the Christmas Concert held December 2 – 3, 2016.

The <a href="https://www.saintjohnsbible.org/">Saint John’s Bible</a> is a work of art and a work of theology.  A team of artists coordinated by Donald Jackson in Wales and a team of scholars in Central Minnesota have brought together the ancient techniques of calligraphy and illumination with an ecumenical Christian approach to the Bible rooted in Benedictine spirituality.  The result is a living document and a monumental achievement.

We want to express our deep gratitude to the many people who played a part in making it possible for the Saint John’s Bible to have a home here at Berea College.
