Man Completes Handwritten Bible After 7-Years
York, a man named Phillip Patterson completed
his handwritten King James Bible after working
on it for seven years. An event was held Saturday at St. Peter’s
Presbyterian Church in Spencertown to mark
the completion of Patterson’s Bible, the
Register-Star, Hudson, N.Y., reported. Patterson, who said he was encouraged to hand-
write the Bible by his late partner, Mohammed,
a Muslim, wrote the final words in front of the
gathering. Patterson said he did learn some things from the
process: “You have to think for yourself.” Despite suffering from the effects of AIDS,
Patterson said he never doubted he would
complete the Bible. “It’s almost as something in the universe spoke
to me in its own language,” he said, adding that
he was “in the zone” while writing the book. Now that the Bible is finished, Patterson says he
plans to continue his life in the community.
“I will still be loving my community, my family.
That won’t stop,” he said.
