THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN




Did you know that the Bible is by far the best-selling and most popular book of all time? The second best-selling book is one containing the sayings of Mao Tse-tung, with approximately 900 million copies in print. But this is dwarfed by the fact that more than 6 billion copies of the Bible have been printed.
Yet the Bible remains a book that author Bruce Barton called The Book Nobody Knows. We have Bibles; we buy Bibles as gifts for people; we put them on display in our homes and on our shelves. But do we really know much about this amazing book?
Here are a few Bible facts that may surprise you:
  • The Bible has been translated into more than 2,000 languages.
  • The Bible was written by about 40 different authors over a period of about 1,500 years.
  • The Bible’s books were written in three different languages (Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic).
  • There are three major divisions in the Old Testament and four in the New Testament.
  • The Old Testament was originally comprised of 22 books, not 39.
  • The last verse of the Old Testament actually ends with a question.
  • Some Bible chapters are actually acrostics and were meant to be memorized.
  • The Bible’s authors wrote under divine inspiration from God.
