\"archives_Pbible\"<\/a>In my History 101 class we\u2019ve been learning all about the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire and as a giant history buff, I\u2019ve been fascinated. Recently, this rather gigantic bible caught my eye with the intricate border work along the side. When I pulled it out I was surprised to see it had silver clasps to hold it shut as well! I had to take a look inside. Its resemblance to a treasure chest was hard to resist, especially with the faded gold edging on the pages, and I found beautiful artwork and intriguing content.<\/p>\n

This edition is called the \u201cParallel Bible\u201d because it includes the King James Bible, a revised version of the Old and New Testaments, Psalms and much more all arranged, you guessed it, parallel to one another. I found works of art depicting religious scenes and even a section entitled \u201cNarrating Bible Stories for the Young\u201d which simplified things such as Adam and Eve\u2019s banishment from Eden for easier understanding. Even if one isn\u2019t quite as fascinated as I am by religious and historical texts, just a glimpse into this book is an adventure in and of itself.<\/p>\n

Check it out on Primo<\/a> for more information!<\/p>\n

The Archives & Special Collections<\/a> is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.<\/p>\n
