2007-2008 Annual Report

For Al l Time Nothing speaks to the biblical focus of the CBTS more than the Biblical Heritage Gallery, located in the center of the building. It provides students, faculty, staff, and visitors the opportunity to reflect on the relevance of Scripture for today, while affirming the historical significance of the Word of God. The Gallery showcases the University’s museum-quality collection of early English Bible manuscripts, another important reminder of our commitment to “the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Selections include pages from the Luther (1529), Tyndale (1537), and Coverdale (1555) Bibles, as well as complete copies of early Geneva (1608) and King James (1613) Bibles — just to name a few. Exhibits change periodically to display the full collection of manuscripts over the course of several months. The Gallery also features a plasma screen presenting the reading of Scripture all day. It serves as a dynamic reminder that Scripture is relevant in every era — for ancients and moderns, for postmoderns and post-everythings. God is honored when His Word is held in highest esteem. The Biblical Heritage Gallery and the CBTS reflect Cedarville’s desire to reinforce the centrality of Scripture on campus and around the world. 7
