Saint John’s Bible Workshop
Over the weekend, there were a number of events centered around the Saint John’s Bible that CSS is hosting for a year. Some of these included:
- Image and Word for Our World – featured a panel discussion with CSS Professors Dr. Denise Starkey from the Theology and Religious Studies Department, Dr. Zachary Via from the Chemistry Department, and Dr. Kim Kruger from the Physician Assistant Studies Program.
- Art of the Book – featured demonstrations of calligraphy and gilding, ink and pigment making, and drawing illustrated borders. Participants could partake in activities such as paper making, writing with quills, drawing Celtic knots, coloring and painting intricate illuminations, and enclosing art work in a portfolio with a wax seal. They could also listen to lute playing by Edward Martin and a discussion of Medieval manuscripts by Dr. William Hodapp.
Participants could also view The Saint John’s Bible and other illuminated manuscripts including the Codex Benedictus (1070), Gutenberg Bible (1455), and ones CSS students have made in their honor’s class. After the workshop, there was a Visio Divina, in the Queen of Peace Chapel, led by Dr. Barbara Sutton, Professor at Saint John’s School of Theology & Seminary.
