The Bible: the Story of a Book

A discussion of the origin of this 'Greatest Book in the World' and the various versions which have appeared over the centuries. Includes illustrations from early Christian editions, including the Gutenberg. Through the centuries, the Bible has inspired some of the noblest achievements of mankind. It has bestowed the courage to reform corrupt laws, to liberate human souls from slavery and bondage, and to advance justice in private and public conduct. The final proof that the Scriptural Writings are supported by the universal plan is clearly stated by the medieval alchemists who declared that the will of God was made manifest in three ways. First through human beings who are strangely and wonderfully made, and third through the Holy Scriptures given to the world through the saints and sages he had sent forth.
