The Bible is part of our society but how much is really known about it? Where did the idea of verses come from? When did it first appear in English? What is it about and how should it be read? All are considered along with little known facts like the longest name in the Bible, bizarre Bibles, and the smallest Bibles in the world. Everything anyone wanted to know is included in the Good News Bible Book of Facts. Illustrated throughout by Simon Jenkins, this handbook is designed to look like and stand alongside the range of Good News Bibles published by Harper Collins.
