The Four Holy Gospels 1.0.0

This application serves as an invaluable companion for individuals visiting the Four Holy Gospels exhibition by Makoto Fujimura at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. Within this app, users have the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of the artwork while exploring the meaningful narrative that underpins this innovative project.

Featured within this exhibition is The Four Holy Gospels, a meticulously crafted edition of the four canonical Gospels presented in the English Standard Version. Makoto Fujimura's distinctive touch is evident through the inclusion of numerous original paintings that adorn this unique publication.

The original illuminated bible was made available by Crossway to honor the 400th anniversary of the King James Version (KJV) Bible in 1611. Notably, this manuscript distinguished itself by incorporating abstract contemporary art, a departure from traditional representational illustrations typically found in similar works.

Fujimura's primary focus was on uniting a contemporary, often secular art style with ancient scripture—a fusion that intrigued him greatly. His ambition was to convey "the greater reality that the Bible speaks of... with a pure dedication to merging faith and art within our diverse, multicultural society."
