Cambridge The Illuminated Gospel of John, Hardback

Description

Read Randy Brown’s review at BibleBuyingGuide.com here.

An exquisite fine art edition of St John’s Gospel, illuminated by artist-calligrapher Jane Sullivan. Inspired by Celtic art and the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, this is a prayerful and sometimes playful piece of art as well as a unique presentation of this sacred text.

Following the majestic King James Version, the Gospel is beautifully handwritten in traditional calligraphic script, richly illuminated with original illustrations throughout.

A year in the making, the Gospel’s every page is lavishly illustrated and  represents a display of reverence for the text. As a 21^st-century artist, Jane Sullivan brings together the medieval and the modern, using high-quality gouaches, inks and paper to create the finished book, which is carefully printed on high-grade wove paper.

The result is a book to delight both eye and soul, inviting all to discover, or rediscover, this most mystical of the Gospels.
