Bach's Bible

Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions, Dr. Thomas Rossin says, stemmed from his private faith — a faith evidenced by Bach's handwritten notes in his Bible. Hear about the Bible's nomadic journey and its possible influence of his "Mass in B Minor" — what the late, great scholar of creeds, Jaroslav Pelikan, holds up as an example of the "best we've ever done."

Produced by Colleen Scheck, Trent Gilliss, and Andrew Dayton

This story is just amazing as the works of JSBach - the greatest composer who ever lived on this planet.

One might make so bold as to say, a Christian hearing his St. Matthew Passion, always had all the proof he needed to know that Bach loved Jesus.

I was there at this concert, and I saw the Bach Bible on display. What a privilege to study Bach's own comments.
