Illuminating the Word |
by Gina Dalfonzo |
If you get a chance to see the St. John's Bible -- which is "made with medieval techniques, but uses the NRSV translation (including the Apocrypha) and incorporates contemporary allusions in the art and modern technology in the planning" -- up close, you should. I saw some reproductions at the bookstore at McLean Bible Church and they were breathtaking. You can view more of the images at the project's official website.
Do you go to McLean Bible Church? I used to go there every now and then and occasionally still visit when I'm home.

Not regularly, no. My family does, and once in a while I go with them.

I just read about this yesterday too. And I hope to see it. Some good comments on the benefits of Calligraphy.
