The Gospel of St. John: Sacred Art Series

By William R. Bloomfield

This version of the Gospel of John aims to provide a version of the Gospel suitable for children so they can develop a daily habit of scriptural reading. To this end, it presents the Gospel story by story (traditional chapters and verses have been removed); it features sacred art from some of the greatest Medieval and Renaissance artists; and it uses a large, readable font and sturdy paper. Both children and adults will appreciate all of these features as improving readability.The text is based on the Douay-Rheims translation--an excellent Catholic translation--with minor updates to remove most thee's, thou's, thy's, and -eth endings. The art includes over 40 exquisite works of sacred art, with many from master artists such as Fra Angelico, Caravaggio, Duccio, and Titian.This version of the Gospel of John makes an excellent First Communion or Confirmation gift. It also makes a great birthday, feast day, or Christmas gift for your children, godchildren, nieces, and nephews. And unlike many bibles that are gifted (which are really adult bibles and are often for show), this one is truly designed to be read by the recipient.
