- Title
NIMBLE AS THE PEN OF A SCRIBE: TOWARD A THEOLOGY OF WRITING.
- Authors
Kleiman, Hilda
- Abstract
The article is the second entry in a series of explorations on the potential development of a Catholic theology of writing. This entry focuses first on three historical examples of significant projects undertaken by scribes which were seen as both spiritual and artistic endeavors. Ancient Jewish Torah scribes, the illustrators of the Lindisfarne Gospels, and the commissioning of artist Donald Jackson to illuminate the Saint John's Bible of Collegeville, Minnesota are each discussed in turn. The writings of cultural historian John W. O'Malley are briefly reviewed. The author then turns to reflections on the interactions shared between writers, scripture, and the moral life.
