Ink and Blood at Florida International Museum

The exhibit Ink and Blood:Sacred Treasures of the Bible opens Friday, January 13th at the Florida International Museum in St. Pete. The 8,500 sq. ft. exhibit, scheduled for a four-month run at the Museum, traces the evolution of the Bible from early pictographs to the current printed versions.

The exhibit includes bits of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a Gutenberg Bible from 1455 and a first edition of the King James version from 1611. The Museum has scheduled a series of lectures and symposiums throughout the month.

William H. Noah, founder and curator of the exhibit, says that the exhibit is "more historical than religious." Click here to read Noah's interview with the Washington Times.
