wise— that pile of Bibles and testa- 1 menu would be 28 ■ miles high In 1947 ■ that Arm put out ■ the astonishing ■ total of 9 310.439 ■ Bibles, testaments ■ or portions During ■ the first 125 years ■ of the society’s ex ■ istence, 303.579.217 g;

copies of Scripture were printed and sold by them, this would make one shelf 870 miles long. The Bible is the best selling book in the world. No other book is in its class. Not to know the Bible is not to know the most widely read book in the world. The American Bible society publishes it in only 187 languages, but parts of it have been translated into as many as 1.000 languages and dialects. • • • Many Authors SUCH popularity must be de served iliere are many reasons why the Bible continues to be. year after year, the alLNme best seller But one of the reasons is its im pressive variety It is not one book, it is a library of books What- , ever your mood, whatever your need, there is a page in the Bible. , somewhere, for you. A Christian will try seriously to appreciate the whole Bible and not merely one or Iwo parts of it. Yet there is such variety in it that invariably some per sons are attracted by one feature of it while another feature makes stronger appeal to others. Our studies these next three months will be in "The Literature of the Bible" and each week we shall be noticing a different feature This week we give a thought to the tremendotig variety of the Bib)* along with its underlying unity. • • • Many Types [ OOKING through the Bible you L* find all varieties of literary types; you find poetry and prose; atone*, essays, sermons, biogri phics. dramas; rhapsodies, love songs, funeral dirges and battle h> mns. Here are pages a* prosaic a* a telephone book and here are pages more exciting than any fiction. Here are simple, straightforward idea* that a child can understand as soon a* he understands the words and here are mysteries so profound that the world's mightiest and boldest mind* shrink back in awe. The Bible is not like a piece of music played on one single instrument. like a tune on a piccolo; it is more like an immense symphony — the more often we listen to it. the more we hear in it, • • • Many Times V ) ONE knows exactly how long 4 v H took for the Bible to be written. Let us suppose that the ear liest parts came from the pen ioi stylus! of Muses, and the latest part from about 100 years alter Christ (John and the Revelation!. If Moses flourished yc-nd 12U0 B C.. that would mean that the Bible wx* completed 13 centuries after it was begun. In 13 centuries much can hap pen. and much did There is hardly any circumstance or crisis, there is scarcely any time, however hum drum or thrilling, which die* not have Its match in the Bible It* writers were inspired men. they knew God. But they also knew the time* in which they lived, and thus can speak to our*. • • • One Theme L'OR all the vast variety of the » Bible, there is in it a deep ano lofty unity. It is bound together by Ito mighty purpose, which throbbed in the heart * blood nt every man who wrote a Une of it. Thai purpose I* to make GM real to man. and U> bring man to God The writer* of the Bible may have had their lighter moment*, but they did not write these page* then The) wr»«e ander the tore *1 table impul'e. tows «f the Hcly Spirit, to make plain to •torr what Ged had revested to them. So a* you come to th* Bible, re member Ito purpose i* not to make you admire or revere it a* a bonk; It* great purpose to to be trans parvirt. a window threugh which you shall »*e Go-h re ■**»«*< to '*» £ "f"« t
