Discovering the Bible

Posted by ddominique on March 5, 2009

Well, we just completed the first class of Discovering the Bible at LW. This is some of what we’ve learned  about the Bible so far.

  1. It is made up of 66 books written over 1600 years. 
  2. The bible was the first book printed on the printing press with moveable type (Gutenberg Press, 1455, Latin Bible)
  3. The Masoretes were (special Jewish scribes) entrusted with the sacred task of making copies of the Hebrew scriptures from AD 500-900.
  4. —The Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed the reliability of some of the Old Testament Bible. Although some spelling errors exist, no variations effect basic bible doctrines.
  5. —There are still 2000 groups with no Bible in their own language (as of 2008).
