Thomas Nelson's Historic Bible Exhibit at the NRB Convention

Somersault is attending the NRB Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, where we're greeting friends and meeting new ones. We're enjoying reviewing projects with them and discussing new publishing, marketing, and branding campaigns to undertake in the coming months. While there, we viewed and took some photos of Thomas Nelson's (@ThomasNelson) extensive exhibit of historic Bibles in the exposition hall.

“The Living Legacy of the Bible” exhibit is part of KJV400, Nelson Bible’s (@NelsonBibles) unprecedented 400 day celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Version of the Bible.

The exhibit allows attendees to experience first-hand more than 4,000 years of Bible history, from the time of Abraham to the present day. Artifacts in the exhibit include Dead Sea Scroll fragments, cuneiform tablets, numerous historic Bibles, an original 1611 KJV Bible, and much more.

The #1 selling Bible translation of all time, the King James Version was first published May 2, 1611. Unparalleled in its theological, literary, and cultural magnitude, the KJV continues to inspire people from all walks of life and faith traditions.

At the start of 2011, Somersault produced an interactive Infographic featuring 22 landmark anniversaries in the areas of publishing, innovation, and technology occuring this year, one of which is the 400th anniversary of the KJV Bible. Read the news release.
