唐纳德•杰克逊, scribe to the current Queen of England, long dreamed of creating a modern illuminated Bible — one in which the text is accompanied by original artworks and calligraphy. A priest from Saint John’s University in Collegeville, 明尼苏达州, 分享梦想, and the two connected and eventually spent 15 years working with artists and calligraphers to create a handwritten illuminated Bible that would resonate with people of all faiths in the 21st century.
This year, a high-quality art edition of 圣约翰圣经 will be at St. 365比分网电竞. The Bible is available for viewing at the Munday 图书馆 on campus. Different pages are displayed from week to week. A series of events throughout the year will make the Bible even more dynamic and interactive.
大规模的庆祝活动
圣约翰圣经 divides the books of the Old and New Testaments into seven volumes. The first volume, called the Pentateuch, contains the first five books, beginning with Genesis. Its arrival was celebrated during the Mass of the Holy Spirit on Aug. 25.

Four courses this fall are incorporating the Bible. A theology class is exploring sacred art and religious texts. A literature course is using the Bible as a springboard for studying biblical narratives in literary works such as Paradise Lost, Frankenstein and Their Eyes Were Watching God. 在平面设计课程中, students are creating a prototype for a mobile app to read 圣约翰圣经. 在荣誉课程上, students are comparing the illuminated manuscript with a regular print version of the Bible.

在春天, the exploration starts anew with the arrival of the volume containing the Gospels and Acts, which will replace the Pentateuch in the Munday 图书馆. Images from the other five volumes will be woven into the university’s classes and programs.
