A picture of a stained glass window depicting the Ascension, an artists rendering of Paul as he writes 13 of the 21 New Testament letters, a picture of real talents, a photograph of the Johannes Gutenberg printing press and a photograph of a Medieval manuscript make this one of my favorite visual reference. This is in a question-and-answer format and is just packed full of stunning ...
