Saint John's Bible: Pentateuch - Donald Jackson, Artistic Director and Illuminator
The third in a series of full color, reproductions from The Saint Johns Bible, the Pentateuch is foundational to both Judaism and Christianity. The Pentateuch features text and illuminations of the first five books of the Old Testament (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) known as the Torah in Judaism. Prominent illuminations include Creation, Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, Jacobs Ladder, Abraham and Sarah, the Ten Commandments and the Death of Moses. In beautiful handwritten script and elegant design, the Pentateuch contains the cherished stories of faith that are thousands of years old. This book provides an artistic interpretation of humanitys oldest literature—still recited as living history.

That these stories are significant to Jewish and Christian traditions is not surprising since they reflect the hopes, dreams, fears, and deeds of people living side by side with the earths oldest civilizations. Over time, these spiritual descendants of Abraham and Sarah introduced God to all the inhabitants of the Middle East and beyond. Their message was simple. God and his creation are good; evil enters when prideful humans go their own way. Nonetheless, God continues to love unconditionally. Donald Jackson is one of the worlds leading calligraphers and the artistic director and illuminator of The Saint Johns Bible. He is a Senior Illuminator to the Queen of Englands Crown Office and is an elected Fellow and past Chairman of the prestigious Society of Scribes and Illuminators. His 30-year retrospective exhibition, Painting with Words, premiered at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in August, 1988 and traveled to 13 museums and galleries.

The launch of a national museum tour of the The Saint Johns Bible began at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota in April 2005 where record crowds greeted the inaugural exhibit during its three-month run. The Saint Johns Bible will continue its national exhibition tour that includes museums and galleries from throughout the United States and Europe. Simultaneous exhibits at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska and The Victoria & Albert Museum in London, England are scheduled from January 21-April 16, 2006. The exhibition tour will continue on at The Tyler Museum of Art in Tyler, Texas, June 8-September 3, 2006; The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., October 6-December 15 2006; The Phoenix Art Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, December 21, 2007-March 7, 2008; and The Mobile Museum of Art in Mobile, Alabama, October 10, 2008-April 10, 2009.
