An Overview
 Monumental
In the tradition of great medieval Bibles, The Saint
John's Bible is monumental -- two feet tall and three feet wide and
more than 1,000 pages bound in seven distinct volumes.
Contemporary
Though each letter is rendered by hand, The Saint John's
Bible uses state-of-the-art computer technology to create and manage
page layouts.
It interprets and illustrates scripture from a
contemporary perspective, reflecting a multicultural world and
humanity's enormous strides in science and technology. English translation
and the themes of the Bible reflect the Church in the modern world.
Ecumenical
Saint John's Abbey and University are dedicated to ecumenism.
The text, translation and imagery in The Saint John's Bible reflect
this commitment. |
