Newbold at UNESCO


Doctor Jean-Claude Verrecchia, principal lecturer in New Testament at Newbold College participated in the launching of an impressive exhibition on the Bible - a project of the French Bible Society entitled The Bible, Heritage of Humanity.

As one of the redactors of the exhibition, Dr Verrecchia was in charge of the module dealing with the transmission of the Bible: the different manuscripts and their reliability. It took more than two years for J-C to complete this project.

The quality of the exhibition - its contents and layout - was so impressive that the UNESCO has accepted to sponsor it! The exhibition will now travel from town to town, in France to start with, but not only, as discussions have already begun to translate it into other languages. Dr Verrecchia's hope is to eventually bring the exhibit to Newbold College. We can't wait!
