IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD
On the Power of Communication

Share on Facebook
Language is inextricably linked to humanity and plays a role at many different levels of society. It often serves as an instrument of power, because both understanding and the lack of understanding—and thus inclusion or exclusion—can be intentionally deployed for various purposes.
The first part of the exhibition catalog explores the significance of language, communication, and mutual understanding within the Bible itself. The second section addresses the significance of language for the Bible as a religious text, as language plays a decisive role in the dissemination and impact of the Holy Scriptures.
