The Facts, Please!

• The majority of the Bible was written on
  scrolls. These were first made from animal
  skins, and later from papyrus. It was material
  made from the papyrus reed-a plant grown in
  Egypt. When the original scrolls began to wear
  out, men called scribes very carefully copied the
  words onto new scrolls.
• About three hundred years after Christ, books
  replaced scrolls but they were still
  handwritten. In A.D. 1450, when the printing
  press was invented, the Bible began to be printed
  much faster.

• The Bible is the most important book ever
  written. Why? Because God wrote it. He wrote
  the Ten Commandments with his own fingers on two
  tablets of stone. The Bible was written over a
  period of 1,600 years by about 40 men. God told
  them what to write. Men spoke from God as they
  were carried along by the Holy Spirits (2 Peter
  121).

Final Fact, Please!

• Satan has tried hard to get rid of the Bible. In
  the past, he has caused wicked men to try to
  destroy all copies of it. Many, many Christians
  have given their lives to keep it safe. God will
  not let his Word be destroyed. Heaven and earth
  will pass away, but my words will never pass
  away (Matthew 2435).
