As music does through sound and as poetry does through words, The Saint John’s Bible employs leitmotifs through its visuals in order to unify and direct the sacred text. Fr. Michael Patella, the chair of this Bible’s Committee on Image and Text, will discuss how both art and scholarship are intricately interwoven within The Saint John’s Bible. The end result is the seven volume work which opens for the reader fresh wisdom and insight in interpreting Sacred Scripture.
