  • On October 6ththe Oklahoma Baptist University Hermeneutics Class of the Johnson Memorial Bible Institute viewed the Passages exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.  Passages is a 14,000 square foot interactive, multi-media exhibition that features some of the most exquisite and rare Biblical manuscripts, printed Bibles, and historical items in the world.  The exhibit includes a Dead Sea Scroll text, a portion of the Gutenberg Bible, ancient Biblical papyri, and multiple first editions of the English Bible through the King James Version.  This year marks the 400thanniversary of the King James Bible.
  • The hermeneutics class teaches how to appropriately study the Bible in the context of which it was written.  The students have been learning the history of the Bible and the methodology of how to pull meaning from the there and then to the “here and now”.  By attending the exhibit the students were able to see firsthand examples of early transcriptions of the Bible and other artifacts that helped shape the Bible we use today
