Saint John's Bible: Gospels and Acts - Donald Jackson, Artistic Director and Illuminator
This book is part of the series The Saint John's Bible. The first in a seven volume series of full-color, page by page reproductions from The Saint John's Bible, Gospels and Acts has more than 25 illuminations, including full-page opening illuminations for each of the four gospels. Some of the prominent illuminations include the Genealogy of Jesus, the Birth of Christ, the Raising of Lazarus, the Crucifixion, Christ Our Light, the Last Supper, the Road to Emmaus, and Pentecost. The Word of God, hand-illuminated through ancient methods by a contemporary master, brings the reader to an epiphany of the sacred. Those who allow themselves to savor the experience unfolding before them will come to see how Gospels and Acts beautifully marries text and image to serve the Word.

Reviews
"Hands down the most exciting of the books presented this year. The Gospels and Acts of the Apostles are presented in a way that literally illuminates each page with the inherent dignity and grace of the scripture. This book is not only ornate in a way the average Bible couldnt. It is worth the price and will be cherished forever in a persona library or a house of worship."
-The Catholic Press Association

"The book reproductions are exquisite."
-Catholic Library World

"Words alone cannot describe the experience of reading and contemplating this hand-written and illuminated Bible."
-Catholic Library World

"An impressive achievement."
-The Catholic Answer

"Holding Gospels and Acts in one's hands invites a spirit of reverence and wonder!"
-Prairie Messenger

"The St. John's Bible is unquestionably art. And in the practice of Jackson and his team members, so is calligraphy."
-Journal Star Lincoln, Nebraska

"The experience of studying The Saint John's Bible has caused me to consider what happens to us when we welcome sacred words into our hearts. "
-Real Live Preacher
