Gilgal Sculpture Garden, Salt Lake City UT

We visited the Gilgal Sculpture Garden in Salt Lake City the last time we were there. It’s not incredibly well known; it was created by Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. in the mid-twentieth century, and includes sculptures and engraved stones.

The sculptor here used the KJV, Job 19:23-27

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see G-d:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
