What an amazing book we have been looking at today! The book of Kells is probably the richest, most beautifully illuminated, manuscript version of the four Gospels in the Celto Saxon style that still survives. According to legend, St Columba was the creator of this most beautiful of books, nearly 1500 years ago. It is all written by hand and carefully illustrated in full colour. It is a masterpiece of art.
The book is a witness to the deep love of the Word of God. I was filled with wonder when I touched the pages of the book (even though I knew they were just copies). So much creative work and love were put into it.
We need creative people today with the love for the Bible to illustrate it and make it available to people in our postmodern age.
