Hastings College Seeks Return of 1921 Bible Valued at $6K

hastings-CollegeHASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — Hastings College officials are asking for the return of a 1921 Bible valued at $6,000 that went missing from the campus library’s collection.

An anonymous donor is offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the two-volume Jewish Bible.

Matt Fong, the college’s chief of staff, says no questions will be asked of the person returning the book, which was donated to the college in 2007.

The book was discovered missing about six months ago, when the donor asked to see it.

Fong says officials have searched places the book might be, such as with members of the college religion department. He says it’s likely the book was stolen.
