A exhibition catalog has been published to accompany the exhibition “Global Bible: Legacies of (Post)Colonial Bible Translations in the Arctic, Oceania and West Africa” by the DFG-funded project “Global Bible” at the Bible Museum in Münster. It offers in-depth information on the exhibits on display and the three case study regions — the Arctic, Australia/Oceania and West Africa.

The catalog is now available in the Bible Museum Shop.

On October 10, the new exhibition “Global Bible: Legacies of (Post)Colonial Bible Translations in the Arctic, Oceania, and West Africa” was officially opened at the Bible Museum of the University of Münster. In a warm atmosphere, the international project team of the DFG funded project "Global Bible" guided visitors through the exhibition — exciting exhibits, personal encounters, and lively conversations made the evening a successful start to the exhibition.

The ‘Global Bible’ exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Bible Museum, Pferdegasse 1, 48143 Münster. Open tours take place on Sundays at 3 p.m., for which no registration is required.

A bilingual catalogue has been published to accompany the exhibition and is available at the Bible Museum.

The DFG funded project "Global Bible: British and German Bible Societies Translating Colonialism" (GloBil) aims to critically investigate British and German contributions to the creation of a global bible, that is the attempt to translate Christian scripture into all the languages of the world. By early in the twentieth century, some portion of the bible had been translated into approximately 1,000 languages, including many with no previous written language.

On October 10, the exhibition on the project results will open at the Bible Museum.
