The current exhibition in The Saint John’s Bible Gallery features 28 original manuscript pages focused on the themes of justice and community. This collection explores how we can achieve an ideal vision of justice in our world today. Visitors are encouraged to engage with this theme using the For Further Thought questions that accompany each page. Some highlights of the exhibition include Word Made Flesh, Joshua Anthology, Loaves and Fishes, Shema, Square at the Watergate, and four illuminations that never been shown before: Garden of Eden, Let Us Lie and Wait, Out of the Whirlwind: God’s Response, and Letter to the Seven Churches. This exhibition will remain through June 2026, but individual pages may be changed due to conservation needs.
