Summary
Analyzes how the Museum of the Bible mobilizes ancient artifacts in its presentation of the history of the Bible as a material object. The museum’s exhibits employ protective strategies that work to preserve its bible as a divine word from God that is easily accessible, providing a usable past for white evangelical aspirations of their own authority and supremacy. The museum’s bible is thereby made doubly reliable, in its textual form and in the integrity of its content.
