Slipping through time, imagine Amsterdam in 1712. A new book, “Schriftuurlyke Geschiedenissen en Gelykenissen, van het Nieuwe Verbond,” appears. Published by the Widow of Pieter Arentz and Cornelis van der Sys, this illustrated book, filled with 340 etchings, quickly becomes a treasured possession. Now, fast forward to 1956. Here stands Het Nieuwe Verbond, a Roman Catholic church, also in Amsterdam. Though centuries apart, both bear witness to the enduring power of stories and faith in this vibrant city. Het Nieuwe Verbond serves as a modern testament to the enduring spirit of belief. While the 1712 book explored biblical narratives, Het Nieuwe Verbond offers a space for contemporary worship. The book, a physical object, now resides in the Museum of Fine Arts, a gift from Roy and Jean Perkinson. Het Nieuwe Verbond, however, stands as a living testament, a place where stories continue to unfold.
