Leave this field empty if you're human: Discover the incredible story of the Bible The Bible is the bestselling book of all time. But how did we get it? In their nationally-recognized book Scribes and Scripture (Crossway), Dr. John Meade and Dr. Peter Gurry answer this question for lay readers beginning with the invention of the alphabet and ending with the most recent English translations. Along the way they address crucial questions about how the Bible was copied, how the right books were recognized, and how we get our English translations today. Written by an Old and New Testament expert, the book is illustrated throughout with helpful maps, charts, sidebars, and pictures.
