why seated · The archive holds the Hebrew Bible (Westminster Leningrad Codex), the Septuagint (Swete), the Greek New Testament and the Dead Sea Scrolls; the canon that kept Enoch and Jubilees whole, and the only one in which they survive complete, was not on the shelf. Its Old Testament is the widest of any church's: Jubilees, Enoch and the three books of Meqabyan are scripture there. The archive's Revelation line reads the apocalypses as a tradition; this is the tradition in which they were kept.
