Museum of the Bible, Part 1
This post begins a series that will take us to the end of the year: my trip to Washington, D.C. to visit my friend (and body double?) Jenny, learn even more about American history, and walk long miles around the nation’s capital. My first stop in Washington was the Museum of the Bible , a massive collection of Bibles and Christian publications on display in a state-of-the-art facility. While marketing towards a Christian audience, the museum does an excellent job of navigating the heterodoxy of the religion, a fancy way of saying that Christians have a wide range of beliefs, some of which conflict with each other. The museum has been open since 2017 and regularly hosts new exhibits, along with collaborating with other organizations. I will preface this three-part review by saying if you are an American Christian, or if you want to better understand the mindset of American Christians, this is the best one-stop source to comprehend the culture.
