Quayle exhibit

The Scriptures of Abraham: The Bible and the Qur’an

Abraham, who is the father of both Isaac and Ishmael, is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Because of this, the Bible and the Qur’an are closely connected. Muslims recognize this connection and refer to Jews and Christians as the “People of the Book,” but many Jews and Christians might not be aware of these links. The 2024-2025 Quayle Bible Collection exhibit will explore these connections by showing how the Bible and the Qur’an are related, including their shared stories and differences. The exhibit will also feature Qur’ans from Bishop Quayle’s original collection. In addition, there will be a special display of presidential Bibles to coincide with the presidential election.
