The Brown Library will display the Christian Hall of Faith until March 7.

The exhibit includes five Dead Sea Scroll fragments, a letter from C.S. Lewis to pupils, a Riena Bible, one of the first editions of the Bible completely translated to Spanish and other items of the Christian faith. The artifacts range in date, with the oldest dating from the first century BC to the newest one from the mid-20th century.

Each of the artifacts tells an important story about history, said Dr. James Wiser the dean of Library Services and Educational Technology. This includes a “He” Bible currently on display, a first edition copy of the King James version that includes a mistake.

“In Ruth 3:15 it refers to Ruth as a he instead of a she,” said Wiser, “and after it was realized there was that error, King James stopped the printing and put the people who made the error in prison.”

The exhibit is part of a traveling museum to build excitement for a future museum in Dallas called the Christian Hall of Fame. The goal of the exhibit is for people to be inspired by heroes of the faith, said Andrew Stimer, the owner of the artifacts.

“I hope that people are inspired by the examples and moved by the stories,” said Stimer, “These are stories that are being lost, really, if we don’t hold on to them. Stories of faithfulness and devotion, sacrifice, extraordinary ventures that people went on for the cause of Christ.”

The display is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday until it will be moved out over Spring break.

“Go see it,” said Dr. Wiser. “Because this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime thing for students, faculty and staff here at ACU. It’s very rare that this much value is on display.”
