How did we get what we have today?
What is the bible? How did this holy book come to us in its present form?
The bible was originally written by the Apostles who walked with Jesus, and his disciples who followed his teachings. Through the years the documents have been copied by scribes, the originals long lost. And now we have copies of copies; then copied into multiple languages around the world. So, how did it get interpreted, and what goes into making the different translations? And how do we know which translations are most trusted? In fact, how do we know that what we have is accurate?
Let's go on a discovery journey to answer that question. Enjoy.
