| A small group of us from the church of Christ in Carthage, Missouri, visited the Bible museum at the Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, last week, to see some of the oldest intact Bibles in existence, some from as far back as the 16th Century. In fact, some of these pieces are sought as treasures to be displayed in other museums. While Eureka Springs has changed in the past several years, one thing remains true from our study: God's Message to humanity has always remained constant and certain. The mountains of proof for this become apparent in the study of the procedures and materials used in copying it, translating it, and printing it. |  Eureka Springs, Arkansas: haven for artists, bikers, and rainbow flags, and home of the Great Passion Play |
Our goal was to lay eyes on some of the things about which we recently learned in the church's Accuracy and Impact of the Bible class on Wednesday evenings. We had heard and read about people with names like Wycliff, Tyndale, and Gutenberg for several weeks now, and it was very interesting to see the direct products of these and other men who often gave their lives for their intent to translate and produce copies of the Word of God for the common person. Look carefully at some of the pictures here and you may read in the fine print and labels about what you're seeing.
