Kansas Bible Co.
Kansas Bible Co.

The Kansas Bible Company came into being at Goshen College in Northern Indiana during the dog days of summer 2008. Through the years more college friends joined the band until it became the 11 man wrecking ball it is today. Featuring a five-man horn line, three guitars, two percussionists and one bass, the KBC are stretching the boundaries of space and time. They are a culture. To walk with them is to know them. They are on a journey - to the stars through rugged ways.

Anabaptist Bestiary Project

The Anabaptist Bestiary Project is a rock and roll band that functions as a contemporary bestiary. Bestiaries, which reached the height of their popularity in medieval England, are illuminated books that collect natural accounts of animals (as well as some plants and minerals) and then offer moral and allegorical reflections on these animals. The beautiful thing about these reflections is the way they confidently go about seeking God in the natural world. Bestiary have
affinities with Anabaptist reflection in that both seek a scriptural God.

This project is headed by Trevor Bechtel, a religion professor at Bluffton University. Bechtel's main research interests include both biblical interpretation and the place of animals in human communities. He writes the songs that the band performs and plays keyboards and guitars.

The band is composed of students at Bluffton University.
