Note Worthy Ingenuity

19 August 2006 in Resources, The Word

Most Bible scholars and ministers have heard of Johnathan Edwards’ famous Blank Bible.

In 1730, Jonathan Edwards acquired a book-like, leather-bound manuscript containing an interleaved printed edition of the King James Version of the Bible. Over the next three decades, Edwards proceeded to write in the manuscript more than five thousand notes and entries relating to biblical texts.

Here is a photo of Edwards’ Bible:

Inspired by this, Tony Reinke at The Shepherd’s Scrapbook decided to make his own version of the perfect journaling Bible.

Part 1 details the genesis of the idea and the first steps toward completeing the task.
Part 2 reads alot like Edison and the light bulb. He didn’t fail, Tony just found ways that wouldn’t work.
Part 3 Hazah! Success and beauty all spiral bound together.

Looks like I’ve got some Christmas presents to work on! Thanks Tony!!!
