   How fascinating!  How did Bob Jones University amass such a
   collection?  Pardon my New York provincialism, but the whole thing
is
   kind of surprising...

Eric,
 I'm glad to see the response. Your reaction is not out of the
ordinary. In fact, our collection is better known to scholars in
Europe than it is to Americans. Even people in the south find it
hard to believe there are paintings by the likes of Botticelli,
Veronese, Domenichino, Ribera, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Cranach right
at their back door!

Come visit us sometime for a pleasant surprise.
