The Scriptorium: Center for Biblical Antiquities
This museum is a non-sectarian library/research center that houses
the priceless Van Kampen Collection consisting of
several thousand manuscripts, scrolls, and other religious artifacts.
The collection is augmented by secondary resources, including the
personal library of Eberhard Nestle, leading 19th century biblical
scholar and co-translator of the Greek Nestle/Aland New Testament
text.
The walk-through experience of The
Scriptorium transports visitors
to historical and geographical areas of the world where displayed
biblical documents originated and gives guests a dramatic understanding
of the history of the Bible, how it parallels the history of civilization,
and the impact it has had upon the world.
Additionally, items not featured on the regular tour are on display
in our rotating exhibit space, located off The Scriptorium bookstore Ex Libris.

The exhibit features hand-copied Bibles and manuscripts from
the dark ages. A video commentary follows the musings of a
young monk as he contemplates monastic life. Make a rubbing

The Wilderness Tabernacle
A recreation of the mobile temple that provided a place for God
to dwell among the Israelites during their forty years of wandering
in the desert. The presentation offers visitors an understanding
about the importance of the rituals and sacrifices offered to God
in this sacred place. Learn about the altar of sacrifice, the objects
inside the Tabernacle, and the Ark of the Covenant.
The Wilderness Tabernacle was designed to move
the Israelites closer to God, while also providing a shadow of future
glory – the coming of Christ.
Jerusalem Model A.D. 66
The world's largest indoor model of its kind, this 45 by 25 foot-long
structure gives a stunning overview of what Jerusalem looked like
at the height of its size and growth. Daily presentations tell the
history of the city, from it's beginnings as King David's capital
city to its destruction by the Romans in A.D. 70.
The Jerusalem Model A.D. 66 allows guests to see
where Christ walked as He ministered inside the city, and where He
traveled during His final hours leading up to His crucifixion on
Calvary.
The Seed of Promise
An original film, The Seed of Promise was filmed
on location in Israel. The story takes guests from the Garden of
Eden to the Second Coming of Christ. Witness the destruction of Jerusalem
in A.D. 70 by the Romans. Watch as Abraham prepares to sacrifice
his son Isaac on Mount Moriah. Travel the Road to Emmaus with the
risen Christ.
This dramatic and inspirational film clearly communicates the world's
most important message; eternal life can only be attained through
the blood of Jesus Christ.
Parental guidance suggested due to the realism of some scenes.
