John F. Kennedy took his 1961 oath of office with his hand on his mother's family Bible. His inaugural address quoted Romans 12:12 directly — "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation" — as he called the nation to a long struggle for freedom.

A sneak peak into one of our upcoming exhibits for 2027! Details to come soon.
Jordan Embassy in Washington D.C.@JorEmbUS

@MOTA_Jordan, signed an agreement with @museumofBible to host the internationally acclaimed exhibition “Jordan: Dawn of Christianity”. On behalf of the Ministry, @AmbKawar signed the agreement with the museum’s President and CEO Dr. Carlos Campo in Washington, D.C. The exhibition marks another major milestone in Jordan’s efforts to showcase its exceptional Christian heritage to international audiences. The exhibition also holds particular significance as it presents Jordan as the cradle of the early Christian story and highlights the Kingdom’s unique role in the origins and spread of Christianity. Jordan is home to many of the most significant sites associated with the life of Jesus Christ, the earliest Christian communities, and the development of the Christian faith. Among the featured sites are Bethany Beyond the Jordan (the Baptism Site of Jesus Christ), the UNESCO World Heritage Site where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist; Machaerus, associated with John the Baptist; Umm Qais; the ancient churches of Rehab; the ancient Aqaba Church, regarded as one of the world’s earliest purpose-built churches; the churches of Petra; Um er-Rasas, another UNESCO World Heritage Site and and Madaba, renowned for its remarkable mosaic heritage, in addition to many significant Christian pilgrimage destinations across the Kingdom. The exhibition forms part of Jordan’s preparations for the global commemoration of the 2,000th Anniversary of the Baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist, a historic milestone that will position “Bethany Beyond the Jordan” (Al-Maghtas) at the center of worldwide Christian pilgrimage and religious heritage tourism. “Jordan: Dawn of Christianity” has already been successfully presented at the Vatican and later in Assisi, Italy, receiving significant international recognition. Its presentation at Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. forms part of the exhibition’s planned international tour and further reinforces Jordan’s commitment to sharing its rich Christian heritage with the world. The exhibition will feature an exceptional collection of rare archaeological artifacts and museum objects that trace the history of Christianity in Jordan from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Together, these objects illustrate the continuity of the Christian presence in Jordan for nearly two millennia and reflect Christianity’s enduring role as an integral and deeply rooted component of the Kingdom’s cultural identity, social fabric, and civilization. The exhibition is expected to open at Museum of the Bible during the first quarter of 2027. وقّعت وزارة السياحة والآثار اتفاقية مع متحف الكتاب المقدس، وذلك لاستضافة المعرض الدولي "الأردن: فجر المسيحية". ووقّعت السفيرة دينا قعوار الاتفاقية نيابة عن الوزارة مع الرئيس والمدير التنفيذي للمتحف د. كارلوس كامبو، في العاصمة واشنطن. وتمثل استضافة المعرض محطة مهمة ضمن جهود الأردن الرامية إلى التعريف بإرثه المسيحي الاستثنائي، وتعزيزه على الساحة الدولية. كما يكتسب المعرض أهمية خاصة، إذ يقدّم الأردن باعتباره الحاضنة التي انطلقت منها قصة المسيحية في بداياتها، ويبرز الدور الفريد للمملكة في نشأة الديانة المسيحية وانتشارها. ويحتضن الأردن العديد من أهم المواقع المرتبطة بحياة السيد المسيح، وأولى الجماعات المسيحية، وانتشار المسيحية من الأردن عبر التاريخ. وتضم المملكة العديد من المواقع ذات الأهمية المحورية للمسيحيين، وعلى رأسها المغطس (بيت عنيا عبر الأردن) موقع معمودية السيد المسيح والمسجل على قائمة التراث العالمي لليونسكو، حيث عمّد القديس يوحنا المعمدان السيد المسيح، وقلعة مكاور المرتبطة بالنبي يوحنا المعمدان، وأم قيس، وكنائس رحاب الأثرية، وكنيسة العقبة الأثرية التي تُعد من أقدم الكنائس في العالم، وكنائس البتراء وأم الرصاص المدرجة أيضاً على قائمة التراث العالمي لليونسكو، إضافة إلى إرث فسيفساء مادبا الفريد، والعديد من مواقع الحج المسيحي المهمة المنتشرة في مختلف أنحاء المملكة. ويأتي تنظيم هذا المعرض في إطار استعدادات الأردن للاحتفاء العالمي بالذكرى الألفية الثانية لمعمودية السيد المسيح على يد يوحنا المعمدان، وهي مناسبة تاريخية ستعزز مكانة المغطس (بيت عنيا عبر الأردن) كمركز عالمي للحج المسيحي وسياحة التراث الديني. وكان معرض "الأردن: فجر المسيحية" قد حقق نجاحًا كبيرًا خلال عرضه في الفاتيكان ثم في مدينة أسيزي الإيطالية، حيث حظي بإشادة واهتمام دوليين واسعَين. ويأتي عرضه في متحف الكتاب المقدس في واشنطن العاصمة ضمن الجولة الدولية المقررة للمعرض، تأكيدًا لالتزام الأردن بمشاركة إرثه الديني المسيحي الغني مع العالم. وسيضم المعرض مجموعة استثنائية من القطع الأثرية والمقتنيات المتحفية النادرة التي تروي قصة المسيحية في الأردن منذ بداياتها الأولى. وتعكس هذه المقتنيات استمرارية الوجود المسيحي في الأردن على مدى ما يقارب ألفي عام، وتبرز دور المسيحية بوصفها مكونًا أصيلًا ومتجذرًا في الهوية الثقافية الأردنية والنسيج الاجتماعي والحضاري للمملكة. ومن المتوقع افتتاح معرض "الأردن: فجر المسيحية" في متحف الكتاب المقدس في واشنطن العاصمة خلال الربع الأول من عام 2027 #Jordan #VisitJordan #DawnOfChristianity #ChristianHeritage #BethanyBeyondTheJordan #UNESCO #الأردن #فجر_المسيحية #المغطس #الإرث_المسيحي #السياحة_الدينية #اليونسكو @VisitJordan @VisitJordanAR

How is a 200-year-old Bible scroll connected to the US Constitution? This Esther Scroll, now in our “Sacred Liberty” exhibit, belonged to Rebecca Phillips, whose husband, Jonas, fought to strike a religious oath from the US Constitution. Read their story: bit.ly/4fAhQW7

The Mosaic Church on Angel Network is a great program worthy of watching. It does talk about an exhibit at the Museum of the Bible in Washington but that exhibit is no longer there. That museum is interesting but very Protestant instead of Catholic

Published in 1790 by Mathew Carey, the Carey Bible was the first Catholic Bible printed in the US. It wasn’t just scripture; it was a quiet act of defiance, proving Catholics’ devotion to Bible study. Learn more: bit.ly/4hzZpDz

@WesleyLHuff @museumofBible It’s top of our list. I don’t know if they still have the Dead Sea scrolls on display, but I’d love to see those with her. We are just starting to go through this at night together and getting into the basics of manuscript history.

I screwed up really bad with a challenge I gave my 7 year old daughter. At the beginning of the summer, I told her that if she could memorize all 195 countries in the world, name them, AND point to each one on a map, I would take her on a daddy-daughter trip anywhere she wanted to fly within the United States. I figured this would take her many months, maybe even the better part of a year. Nope. The other night, she officially quizzed out. She pointed to every single country on the map and told me its name. In less than a month of studying. All 195 of them. I even created a simple app using AI to help her study, which was honestly pretty incredible to watch her use as she learned her way around the world. So now I have to make good on my promise, and she chose Washington, D.C. Just booked our tickets last night. Honestly, this is one of the better mistakes I could make as a father. I love watching my kids learn and grow, and I love that I get to be involved in their education and help make learning exciting for them. Now we are planning a daddy-daughter weekend in D.C., so send me your best recommendations for things we absolutely need to see or do!

A prayer for a king was hidden among scrolls that usually criticized him. 4Q448 (100–75 BC) blesses a Hasmonean king that the Qumran community typically opposed, making it quietly out of step with everything else in the collection. Get your tickets: bit.ly/4pz1WQh

You know what wrecked me as a Muslim? The Dead Sea Scrolls. Literally a kill shot. Once I understood what they proved, I couldn't reconcile them with Islam's claim that the Torah had been corrupted (Which is their foundational claim). For years I was told the Jews and Christians changed God's revelation. Then archaeologists discovered copies of the Hebrew Scriptures hidden centuries before Islam. And what did they find? The same Torah. The same prophets. The same promises. The same story. That mattered because the Quran repeatedly affirms the Torah that existed in Muhammad's day. So I had to ask: If the Torah was already corrupted... Why does the Quran tell people to consult it? And if the Dead Sea Scrolls show that the Torah we have today substantially matches the one preserved centuries before Muhammad... When did this corruption actually happen? Why would it have happened? That line of questioning changed my life. If the Torah wasn't rewritten, then the prophets still point to the same Messiah they always did. The Dead Sea Scrolls didn't create my faith. They forced me to reexamine the claims I had inherited. I finally saw the evidence of Christianity. Sometimes God leaves the receipts in a cave. That's one of the biggest reasons I could never go back to Islam. Praise God He did!
