I gave to #EmoryDayofGiving to support the J. Michael Morgan English Bible & Psalmody Collection. If you like Bibles, I encourage you to do so as well!
#EmoryDayofGiving is going strong! Gifts to the Morgan Collection fund will benefit from a Dollar-for-Dollar Match, up to $2,500, to support our work of providing maximal access to important works of theology and religious studies. Visit pitts.tl/3FP220D to participate!
This is such a cool project; proud to have @PittsLibrary colleagues involved!
We are proud to share the story of our ongoing work rediscovering, restoring, and reclaiming sacred ground at Penfield African American Cemetery in Greene County, Georgia, with our project partners. Read more in our latest blog: pitts.tl/3Je2G8U
This is such an amazing gift @PittsLibrary . We are excited to continue Michael Morgan's legacy of providing access to and promoting learning from this incredible collection.
.@PittsLibrary at @CandlerTheology has acquired a major collection of English Bibles and related literature containing more than 5,500 volumes and dating from the 16th century to today. links.emory.edu/y4
Today, September 21, marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s publication of the September Testament. I hope you will come see the amazing exhibition my colleague @theologger has created @PittsLibrary @CandlerTheology
We're proud to announce the opening of our fall exhibition, “So That It Pierces & Rings Through the Heart”: Martin Luther’s September Testament & 500 Years of Bible Translation. Visitors are welcome anytime the library is open. Visit pitts.emory.edu/hours for more info!
We are currently installing our next exhibition @PittsLibrary, which includes this Vulgate from 1480 and this Bible software from 1991. Oddly, the software feels much, much older.
This is a fantastic volume that I was fortunate to be able to contribute to. Excellent work and many thanks to @andersoncliffb and @degruyter_TRS

I've seen these books, and they are super cool/super depressing
#BannedBooksWeek was launched in 1982, but did you know that book censorship dates back to the 16th century? Find an example in the 1528 printing of St. Jerome’s collected letters recently acquired by Pitts at scholarblogs.emory.edu/pitts…! #rarebooks #censorship @BannedBooksWeek
