Since the 1980s, Protestant religions have been attracting more followers, especially Evangelists and Adventists, and to a lesser degree, Mormons. |
One of these, a pocket gospel book with portraits of the Evangelists, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England. |
Eighteen ornate towers represent the Apostles, Evangelists, Jesus and Mary. |
There are sixteen pages of arcaded canon tables, where parallel passages of the four Evangelists are laid out. |
This manuscript is written in a bold hand, with black ink, and is illuminated with rude portraits of the Evangelists. |
In the centre is the Madonna and Child enthroned in a vesica above six saints, and surrounded by the symbols of the Evangelists. |
