| A Bible portion in Hebrew |
Then, along came Mr. Guttenberg, and invented movable print. The first book published was the Bible - in German!
Later, we had the mass production of Bibles across all the western languages. Missionaries traveled to distant lands, and one of the first things they did was translate Greek and Hebrew texts into the dominant language of the region.
Now the Bible is available in more than 700 languages. Portions of the New Testament reach another - perhaps - 1,500 languages.
What about the other smaller language group. There may be 3,000 or 4,000 unreached languages, it depends on how the various linguists define the terms. (It's a complicated decision to say that this language or that one can understand that group. Hey, sometimes English speaking people have trouble understanding one another.)
Now comes a new idea. Providing an iBible to the 5,000,000,000 (billion) iPhones in the world. Enjoy this video!
