Pressed for Time: The Gutenberg Bible

By Joshua David Stein

 

The Gutenberg Bible

July 30, New York Public Library, 5th Ave. at E. 42nd Street; 11 a.m. to 6, FREE

Regardless of whether you’re a heathen or a believer, that both The Bible and John Gutenberg exerted a momentous influence on world events since 1439 and Creation, respectively, is indisputable. Hell, there are musicals about both! This is your last chance to see one of the 48 Gutenberg Bibles still in existence at the NYPL before they go away.

Bottom Line:
Even the most devout secularist in this Kindle age can appreciate the craftsmanship, the rarity and the divinity of the printing press.
