Gutenberg’s press revolutionized the world, transforming the darkness of the Dark Ages into the daylight of the Reformation. By drastically reducing the cost of Bible production and thus enabling mass distribution, his invention allowed the common man to own a personal copy of God's Word for the first time.
This book invites you to explore the transformative power of Gutenberg's invention through dozens of full-color visuals, including detailed timelines, maps, diagrams, and original artwork. It also features a comprehensive census of the remaining Gutenberg Bibles, revealing their current locations around the world.
A special highlight is the reproduction of 27 illuminated pages from the renowned Insel-Verlag copy of the Gutenberg Bible, accompanied by their English translations. Enhancing its visual splendor, the book’s endsheets feature full-color artistic renderings of Gutenberg at work on his press, bringing you closer to the moment history was made.
Produced by Lasting Legacy Books in collaboration with the Biblical Heritage Exhibit, this exquisite hardback is a true collector's piece. Remove the full-color, embossed dust jacket to reveal a luxurious cover adorned with gold-foil lettering and filigree ornamentation, while the high-quality gloss paper inside brings every image and detail to life.
This book is not just a celebration of history, but a testament to the enduring legacy of the printed Bible. We invite you to delve into this remarkable journey of faith and innovation, and we hope you will treasure this volume for years to come.
