On 23rd of November 2016, a significant milestone in the history of our publishing house took place. Together with Domi Exclusiv, the management of Müller & Schindler Verlag presented one of the first copies of the magnificent illustrated Bible – the Bible of Mercy – to Pope Francis. The Holy Father not only accepted the valuable facsimile edition but also contributed the foreword for this extraordinary work.
The Bible of Mercy is more than a book – it is a symbol of love and devotion. Created during the Holy Year of Mercy (Iubilaeum Extraordinarium Misericordiae), proclaimed by Pope Francis from 8 December 2015 to 20 November 2016, this exclusive edition was published in a limited and numbered series of 2,016 copies.
Featuring stunning illustrations and exceptional craftsmanship, it exemplifies the uniqueness of the Holy Scriptures. Most notably, each copy is accompanied by Pope Francis’ personal blessing.
Beyond its artistic and spiritual value, the Bible of Mercy also contributes to doing good. A portion of the proceeds from its sale is donated to support a children’s hospital in Africa. This work thus combines faith with practical compassion – fully in line with the Pope’s vision.
The presentation of the Bible of Mercy to Pope Francis marks a milestone for our publishing house and stands as a testament to the power of art, faith, and humanity.
