The Bible didn't fall from heaven-it was assembled by human hands. For two thousand years, Christians have held the Bible as the unchanging Word of God. But behind every verse lies a hidden history of choices: which books to include, how to translate ancient languages, whose voices to preserve-and whose to silence forever. Sacred Editors reveals the remarkable human story behind Christianity's most sacred book. From early Christian communities treasuring gospels that would later be banned to scribes systematically erasing women apostles from Christian memory, this is the story of how the Bible came to be.
Discover:
- How a single mistranslation shaped the Virgin Birth doctrine
- Why entire books disappeared from Protestant Bibles during the Reformation
- How Islamic libraries preserved Christian texts that Western Christianity had forgotten
- What happened to alternative gospels buried in Egyptian monasteries for over a thousand years
