The handwritten Bible
New Current French
The printed handwritten Bible brings together in 2 volumes, the entire book of Psalms and the New Testament, copied by more than 500 participants, of all ages, from all Christian denominations, and from the entire French-speaking world, during the period of confinement / deconfinement of 2020. It is:
- A collective and unique work, touching, interfaith and intergenerational.
- An artistic work of great diversity.
- The reflection of a surge of fraternity, of unity in the face of the biblical text and in the face of the ordeal of confinement.
- A living testimony that shows that the Bible is timeless.
The birth of the project :
In May 2020, the French Bible Alliance launched the collective creation of a handwritten Bible or “Confined Bible” by inviting all those who want to participate in recopying a chapter of the New Testament or a psalm. This project brings together the works of different volunteer copyists to make a new and unique object. 500 copyists from all walks of life and all Christian denominations therefore embarked on this great adventure. “Recopying the Bible is a strong spiritual experience which leads to personal appropriation of the text while being part of a collective approach. It is part of a story, in a relationship to the text that comes to us from afar and that we continue to bring to life by remaining connected together to the essential.”
Personalities from all walks of life participated in this unique work :
- Dr Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize
- François Clavairoly, pastor, president of the Protestant Federation of France
- Olivier Giroud, professional footballer
- Gérard Larcher, President of the Senate
- Sr Véronique Margron, president of the Conference of Religious in France
- Mgr Éric de Moulins-Beaufort, president of the Conference of Bishops of France
- Congolese pastor André Bokondoa Bo Likabe, president of the Church of Christ in Congo and professor of the First Testament at the Protestant University of Congo
Also participated:
- Marion Muller-Colard, theologian
- The community of deaconesses of Reuilly
- A 5th grade class from a college in Alsace
- Disabled people welcomed by the John Bost Foundation
- A family with two children
And many more!
