I’m grateful to Westminster Presbyterian in Oklahoma City for inviting me to come talk with an adult study class about the Bizzell Bible Collection on Oct 9 and 16 to close out a 6-week series as part of their Midweek Manna program. Here’s the handout, and slides with prepared notes (although I ad-libbed quite a bit).
- Handout
- Slides with notes, Part I (Oct 9)
- Slides with notes, Part II (Oct 16)
- Download Two Books video; cf. “Science and Scripture Exhibit” (MOTB).
- Malcolm Guite: “A treasure-trove of rare books!“; cf. the Painters-Prophets-Poets conference.
“Bibles remind us that God … enters our joys and sorrows. Bibles are echoes of the Word made flesh. These two facts — that Christians worship a God with wounds, and that they gladly worship him in the same language as their songs and stories — make Christianity unique among the religions of the world. That is what a Bible collection means to me. What will it mean to you? Come and see.”
