The Art of the Saint John’s Bible

From the time that pages of The Saint Johns Bible began touring in major exhibitions nearly a decade ago, people have been moved, captivated, and inspired by this stunning work of modern sacred art. But they often have questions about the illuminations that are scattered throughout the Bible, especially as they first become familiar with it. Why was a certain Scripture passage chosen for illumination rather than another? What materials and source imagery are behind the illuminations? The Art of The Saint Johns Bible provides answers to these important questions and many others. Initially published in a series of three volumes, each book has now been revised by the author and included together in this single helpful volume. Since The Saint Johns Bible is now complete, Susan Sink makes connections between recurring images and motifs throughout the work and reflects on the images with a view to the whole. Her book promises to intensify and expand the experience of all who come in contact with The Saint Johns Bible.
