BIBLE FACTS
WHAT A BOOK!
About 40 men wrote the BIBLE, over a period of 1600 years from 1500 BC to about 100AD. The first English translation was initiated by John Wycliffe and completed in 1388. Since then, the Bible has been translated into over 1200 languages and dialects. In some countries where it is still illegal to read the Bible, people smuggle Scriptures in by tearing the pages into small pieces to share secretly among believers. They memorize the book passage by passage then pass them on. If caught, they face imprisonment or death, so they are taught to eat the small pieces – but only as a last resort… Aren’t you glad you live in a country where you can study God’s Word freely?
