We've been asking some of our elderly folks and people in the nursing home and nobody seems to remember," 340 years will play hell with a persons memory.

Does it contain the “deuterocanonical books”? (what protestants call the Apocrypha). It would be interesting to see.

If this was an ELCA church, that’s probably the last Bible the former Pastors bought and used in church. It’s a wonder that the current Pastors even know what it is.

"Each time I see an illustration like this, I just think of how beautiful it looks and how much of a labor of love it must have been for the person who actually drew it," Lyle Buettner, a worker with the Special Collections at Concordia Seminary Library. . . . Hey, I know Lyle. I even helped teach him Greek. And Concordia Seminary is my alma mater.

They aren’t talking to the geezers for nothing. Someone helped himself to the book just like that luminary was found a few years ago.

Interestingly enough, there are at least a couple dozen bibles for sale on eBay from the 1500s (over 400 years old), and many more from the 1600s.
Kind of exciting to find one stuffed in a cupboard in a church, but, in reality, not all that rare.
