Local Man Finishes Handwritten Bible This Weekend

Family, friends, and the public will join Phillip Patterson as he writes the last words of his handwritten bible in a historic Columbia County church. 

Phillip Patterson of Columbia County, NY began hand-writing the entire King James 1611 version of the bible with the simple desire to know what was in it. Nearly six years later he'll finish it surrounded by family, friends, and the public. His life is his art and Laura Glazer, a friend of Phillip's, has been photographing both since she met him in 2009 in a doctor's office where Phillip is a patient and Laura was working. A selection of her photos documenting this journey will be displayed.

Phillip plans to pen the final words of the bible, culminating with the last word..."Amen" at approximately 6pm on Saturday. A limited number of media interviews will be granted in advance. Please reach out to Laura Glazer via email (preferred) at helloprettycity@gmail.com or cell phone at 518-229-9244.
