From 1611- 2011 Still the World's Best Seller!

This has been quite a busy week between being in the Parish and occasionally attending the General Assembly. On Wednesday evening I attended a presentaion in Crubber's Close to launch 'Bible Fresh". The whole aim of the evening was to encourage church leaders to become actively involved in promoting the heritage and legacy of the Bible as next year will be the 400th Anniversary of the King James Version. A few years ago I was given a miniture of the King James Bible, it was produced to celebrate he 300th Anniversary of the edition. [gallery columns="4"] Thought some of you might be intrigued to see this little bit of history. If you were able to open the back page of this little Bible you'd find a magnifying glass and it is possible to read the Bible from cover to cover to cover. When the Bibles were being placed in churches they were so valuable that they were chained to the church lectern. Its quite incredible that today the Bible is still the world's best seller and no other book has ever been translated into so many languages. As we approach 2011 lets hope that Christians across the globe take the opportuunity to encourage a new generation to engage with the Bible.
