ITALY — The Pope accepts a copy
of the Panoramic Bible from the Rev Makoto Watabe, General Secretary of
Japan Bible Society. The special Bible was
published last September to commemorate the 130th year of Bible work in
Japan. Devised by the Society and designed to deepen the reader’s
understanding of the Bible, it covers both the Old and the New Testaments
and includes pictures, photos, timelines, and explanatory notes as well
as about 200 passages of Bible text. The Pope was also given a copy of
the Japanese New Interconfessional version of the Bible, produced by the
collaboration of the Catholic and Protestant Churches in Japan to commemorate
the 40th anniversary, last year, of Dei Verbum. Information about the
Panoramic Bible can be found on the English-language web site of the Japan
Bible Society http://www.bible.or.jp/e/index.html.
