Mike and Ken start the first season in their trilogy of seasons, this season is focused on Christ In Us. In this episode, they will look at two verses that talk about examining to see if Christ is in us and testing to see if He's in others. In their discussion, they cover the details of the passages each verse comes from, what's important for us to understand, and then how we can apply what we learn to our lives. A listener wants to know how the guys ended up in their current lines of work? The high value of Gutenberg Bibles doesn't just come from being the first printed book in Europe. There are many other things that make them a one of a kind treasure. And what other kinds of work could a person who has been a pastor easily transition into?Passages: 2 Corinthians 13:5, 1 John 4:4Support the show

The earliest recorded sounds that can be heard today come from wax cylinders recorded by Edison and his colleagues , for purposes of experiment and exhibition in 1888. These cylinders are the incunabula of sound recording,  just as Gutenberg Bibles are the incunabula of moveable-type printing

Synopsis In the middle of the 15th century, a German printer by the name of Johann Gutenberg invented a method of printing from moveable type cast in metal. His invention revolutionized the way books were printed, and the widespread dissemination of Gutenberg Bibles made him famous in Europe. In the summer of 1840, the city of Leipzig planned to unveil a new statue of Gutenberg, and commissioned composer Felix Mendelssohn for two new works. The first, for two choirs, would accompany the unveiling of the statue of Gutenberg, and would take place in the city's open marketplace after the morning church service on June 24th. The following day, June 25th, there would be a gala concert in Leipzig's St. Thomas Church featuring the church choir and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performing a new symphony by Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 2, entitled “Lobgesang,” or “Hymn of Praise,” is modeled on Beethoven's Ninth, opening with purely instrumental movements, and concluding with a finale for vocal soloists and chorus. Mendelssohn's text was taken from Martin Luther's German-language translation of the Bible. Since the premiere was intended for St. Thomas Church, where the master of counterpoint Johann Sebastian Bach had once been Kantor, Mendelssohn chose to end his Symphony with a big fugue.

It's Black History Month, and we wanted to take the opportunity to devote this episode to the story of a Black museum leader. We know that people of color have historically been excluded from positions of power in the mainstream art world, but that's not the full story. In many cases, Black people were present, only their contributions were not properly recorded or acknowledged. What if you were told that one of the most famous museums in America was in fact headed by a Black visionary? That's the case with the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City, which was founded in 1906 to house the collection of the legendary Wall Street tycoon John Pierpont Morgan.  That collection was amassed and overseen by Belle Da Costa Greene, a brilliant scholar and bon vivant, who we now know was Black, and passed as white for her entire adult life. So, how did that happen, and who was Belle DaCosta Greene, the woman who built Morgan's peerless collection, which includes renowned illuminated medieval manuscripts, three Gutenberg Bibles, original scores by Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin, and prints and drawings by Leonardo and other Renaissance artists?  To find out, we spoke with Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray, the authors of The Personal Librarian, a sensational novel about Belle's life, on this week's episode.

With the news of Christie's selling an original Shakespeare First Folio for $10 Million, Travis, James and Kevin are discussing antique books! What are the factors that make an antique book valuable, and are they worth collecting in 2020? Handwritten manuscripts and Gutenberg Bibles are more commonly discussed in this world, but what about rare limited edition Harry Potter books? Travis has many questions on his quest to become a better reader.  Hosted by Travis Landry, James Supp and Kevin Bruneau   

Copies of the Gutenberg Bible weren’t always prized collectors’ items. During the Reformation, which emphasized the importance of vernacular translations of the Bible over the canonical Latin version, many Gutenberg Bibles collected dust or worse: disbound and scattered to the winds, their pages were used to bind other books or to wrap and protect archival documents. Eric White, Curator of Rare Books at the Princeton University Library (and author of "Editio Princeps: A History of the Gutenberg Bible"), tells us about his quest to find these fragments, two of which are right here at the Newberry. Eric speaks with Jill Gage, the Newberry’s curator of printing history.

Of the millions of books that have been published, few are as renowned or as coveted today by collectors as the famous Bible printed in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg. In The Lost Gutenberg: The Astounding Story of One Book's Five-Hundred-Year Odyssey (TarcherPerigee, 2019), Margaret Leslie Davis traces the journey of one copy of this book – known as Number 45 – over the course of two centuries as it changed hands through a succession of owners. As Davis explains, at the start of the 19th-century Gutenberg Bibles were not as highly prized by the growing market of rare book collectors, which allowed Archibald Acheson, the third earl of Gosford, to acquire Number 45 for a relatively small sum in 1836. By the time it was sold nearly a half-century later, however, its status had skyrocketed and with it the price it commanded. After a succession of British owners, Davis describes the book’s acquisition in 1950 by the American heiress Estelle Doheny, which brought Number 45 across the Atlantic Ocean and into the hands of the only woman known to own a copy. Though the book was donated to a Catholic seminary upon her death along with the rest of her collection, its sale in 1987 to a Japanese publisher led to a second transoceanic journey that brought it to Japan. There Number 45 became the first Gutenberg accessible to millions as its pages were subsequently photographed and the images posted on the Internet for anyone online to see.

Professor Robin Clark has used pigment analysis to reveal the secrets of the Lindisfarne Gospels, Gutenberg Bibles, Greek icons, forged papyri and the '36th Vermeer painting'. In this lecture Professor Clark will explain and explore how the technique of Raman spectroscopy has helped in the restoration, conservation and dating of artwork along with the detection of forgeries. This lecture marks 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry.
