Yes, the history of the greatest piece of literature ever written in history. Just like the stories of the bible, the history of the bible is also awesome.
Did you know that...
- The bible has been copied over thousands of times using clay tablets, scrolls, papyrus sheets, fabric and animal skin before the idea of printing was bestowed upon mankind.
- That a man copying the bible must read out loud every single word before writing them down. Wah, sipek ma fan.
- Before a man copying the bible writes the word God, he must go mandi and use a special pen before proceeding. Imagine how much Dettol he used.
- Early tablets and scrolls with inscriptions of The Word Of God had been stored in The Ark of Covenant. Luckily they were rescued from the invading Babylonians from Solomon's Table. The ark itself is now missing.
- The bible has been translated into many languages including Greek, Hebrew, Latin and English.
These are just a tiny portion of the amazing facts we've absorbed. We also know that the stories we now have in the bible are filtered through a process called canonization. If every single story has been placed in the bible, it'll be thicker than all 7 Harry Potter books combined.
We also found out the bible has certain glitches. It is human nature to err. C'mon la, even Stephen King, Mario Puzo or Shakespear will make certain changes if the write the same story twice.
Anyway, it was a fun lesson. However, I was question-less for the day, I don't know why? We hope to see you again soon Scripture Union.
