Yesterday evening I gave an address on “The Puritans and the Bible: Their Preaching and Evangelism” for a group of people that were attending the Inspired Exhibit in Muskegon, Michigan, which offers numerous artifacts, manuscripts, scrolls, and rare Bibles that tell the compelling story of the Bible’s writing and preservation and why it matters.
After I spoke, Dr. Scott Carroll, Director of the Inspired Exhibit, gave us a very informative and fascinating one-hour tour of the exhibit. The tour far exceeded my expectations. Most impressive was a fragment of Psalm 23, the original of which dates back to 200 A.D. (photo #1), a scroll of Isaiah (photo #2), and a rare Torah done in Spain during the Spanish Inquisition (photo #3).
At the end of the tour, a gentleman who made an imitation of the Gutenberg Press, gave us a fascinating presentation of it, and helped Mary print a copy of 1 Samuel 25 on the press (photo #4). The exhibit concludes tomorrow at Maranatha Bible & Missionary Conference, 4759 Lake Harbor Dr., Muskegon, MI 49441, and is well worth it.
