"the Greens are “building a huge museum dedicated to the Bible a few blocks from the Mall in Washington, D.C., with as much public space as the National Museum of American History.”

In fact, the Green Collection, according to the Green Scholars Initiative website, “is among the world’s largest private collection of rare biblical texts and artifacts. Scholars have scoured the world to assemble the more than 40,000 biblical antiquities that today comprise the collection.”

The Green Collection, which had its debut in 2011, features items such as pieces of the Dead Sea Scrolls and rare illuminated manuscripts. As reported by Fox News, one manuscript, which was copied in 1156, contains the Gospels, Eusebian Canon Tables, and portraits of the Evangelists.
