Where Did The Bible Come From?

Most people who own a Bible nowadays have a modern printed and bound edition in book form, with the text translated in their native language.

But in fact, the Bible didn’t always exist in this practical form and for over a thousand years, it was actually copied by hand with painstaking care and preciously guarded as a treasure by the individual or community to which it belonged.

In this video we go into the original languages of Holy Scripture, as well as the most important translations and versions of the Bible.
