Drive Thru History: History of the Bible

Worldwide Distribution of the Bible

Have you ever stopped to think about how the Bible made its way from ancient Israel all the way to your bookshelf or phone? The journey of the Bible didn’t end when the New Testament was written—it kept going, spreading across continents, cultures, and centuries. Today, the Bible is the most translated, published, and distributed book in human history. But that didn’t happen overnight. It took kings, scholars, explorers, reformers—and even some brave rebels—to carry God’s Word around the world.
