Modern Version of the Bible at Kenyon College Reaches Back Centuries
A monumental version of the Bible – a reproduction of more than 1,100 pages of hand-written and hand-illuminated work – is on display at Kenyon College and will be discussed in an illustrated presentation on Monday, Oct. 13.
The Saint John’s Bible – the first of its kind commissioned by a Benedictine abbey in more than 500 years – is arranged in seven volumes, each 2-feet tall and 3-feet wide. Tim Ternes, the director of the Saint John’s Bible project at the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minn., will discuss "From Inspiration to Illumination – An Introduction to the Saint John’s Bible" on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Beulah Kahler Theater in the Kenyon Athletic Center, 221 Duff St. He will also conduct an informal discussion on Oct. 14 at 11:10 a.m. in the Olin Auditorium, 103 College Dr. Both events are free.
