A southwest Iowa man’s front yard now features what he’s calling the world’s largest Bible as part of a lighted Christmas display. Albert Morgan says the big book was hand-built by a friend when he lived in Colorado. Morgan has recently moved to Atlantic, so this is the first time the Bible has been visible in Iowa.

Morgan says the Bible is eight feet across, seven feet high and about six-feet deep. It comes in two pieces and each piece weighs about 200 pounds.

The huge tome is open to a verse from the book of Luke about the birth of Jesus and the lighted display includes a church, angels and a Nativity scene.
