In summers past one of my ministries consisted of serving as coordinator of an international, ecumenical team of guides for the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. In ten different languages, these university students and I gave hour-long tours of the cathedral, initiating visitors to its architecture, statues, stained glass windows, and their significance. As in other medieval cathedrals, its stone and glass work is a mini-Bible for those unable to read, as well as a summa theologiae for those not sitting at the feet of Peter Lombard, Bonaventure or Aquinas. Much to my astonishment I discovered that the tourists I personally guided — Christians and Jews — were more than just rusty about Bible history; they were ignorant. Jews from New York were often as vague about Jesse's root, David and Goliath, Ruth and her husband, and Jonah, as Christians, even evangelicals, were astonishingly unfamiliar with the wedding feast at Cana, the risen Christ's appearance as gardener to Mary Magdalene, and other biblical scenes.
