There are currently 6.4 million books published about Christianity. Christians have produced 4.8 billion Bibles over the years, with 1.6 billion currently available on the planet. [“Table C,” IBMR, p. 30, line 58.] Non-Christian countries have 227 million Bibles in place in their midst, more than needed to serve all Christians there. However, they are poorly distributed, so many still do not have access to a Bible. [Johnson, “World Christian Trends 2005.”] Wycliffe also reports that the Bible still has not been translated into 3000 languages around our world. [Page 174]
