A 400-year-old Bible bought at auction in Belfast will be used to 'reactivate' interest in the scriptures, according to one of its buyers
A 400-year-old Bible that sold at auction for £20,000 will be used to reach out and reignite interest in the scriptures, its buyer has said.
It sold for double its £5,000 to £10,000 valuation, but he said he did not think about it in monetary terms. "There is something very appealing about the fact that this was history - living history that could be used to draw people's attentions back to the authority of God's word.""My balance in my own mind was that if this can be of benefit to one person, then the value of that is incalculable."
It sold as part of a private collection from a gentleman's residence and was one of 389 lots that went under the hammer.
