Dr. Maisel (1944-2022) founded The Enduring Word Museum in 1994 to teach Christians the history of their Bible and to teach the history of written communication. He had been recognized as an authority on the history of manuscript traditions and early printing. His decades of practical research had led him to design and build several full-size, working replicas of the Gutenberg Printing Press.
John Sliffe joined Rusty in 2011, both assisting Rusty in the completion of printing presses for various museums as well as traveling with the exhibit. After seeing the impact of the ministry on people's lives, John decided to continue his education and become a fulltime partner in the exhibit. John has finished his Masters in Theology and Church History at Oral Roberts University and currently working on his Doctorate at the University of South Africa.
The Enduring Word teaches the history of the Bible through historical artifacts from the Holy Land, Middle East, Asia Minor, and Europe spanning 5000 years, all to affirm the Truth and Veracity of the Bible.
By owning an Authentic Johann Gutenberg Bible page and using the fully functional printing press, the Enduring Word Museum is often invited to schools, both public and private, to speak about the importance of Johan Gutenberg in the Reformation Age. This, along with the history of written communication, are topics of interest for public school's lectures when covering these eras during the school year.
We teach history of how the Bible we have today came into existence, the history of written communication as well as lectures on specific historical characters such as Johan Gutenberg, John Wycliff, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, Miles Coverdale, King James, and others along with their combined efforts to publish the Bible in English.
