"On Eagles’ Wings: The King James Bible Turns 400" Exhibition
Museum of Biblical Art
This event has ended.
To commemorate the 400th anniversary of one of the greatest books in the English language, MOBIA is organizing "On Eagles’ Wings: The King James Bible Turns 400." The exhibition will explore the historic context in which the King James Bible was translated and published beginning with an examination of its predecessors, most notably the Bishop’s Bible sponsored by Queen Elizabeth I in 1568 and singled out as the model to which the translators commissioned by King James were to follow as closely as possible. The exhibition will present the touchstones of the translation process examining how this work was and continues to be inspirational for various audiences over time.
