Jackson has decided to produce a Bible the old fashioned way, using calfskin
vellum and quills. Jackson is about half way through a project of handwriting
and illustrating the Bible. The prospects have raised worldwide interest. There
will be a BBC documentary and hundreds of people and groups have donated money
to the cause. It is an eight year process that will cost around four million
dollars. Different parts of the Bible will go on tour. The entire project is
expected to be completed in 2008. We surely applaud Jackson for his devoted
commitment to this cause. We also hope that people will see that the Bible is
not just an object of art, but is something to be read, obeyed and applied.
