Product description
The Art of the Saint John’s Bible provides an opportunity for people to experience the Scriptures in a new – but at the same time ancient – way. Here are illuminations that bring the words of the Bible alive for the contemporary world. Some of the world’s top calligraphers, working in a tradition all but replaced by the printing press centuries ago, invite us into a rich and varied creation. The illuminations draw on and update Eastern iconographic and Western sacred art traditions, resulting in one of the most important sacred art achievements of our time. These books stand as works of art, making one’s experience of the Word all the more breathtaking.
