The first printed book in the world was the Bible in 1450.
The Bible contains 3,566,480 letters, 773,746 words, 31,173 verses, 1,189 chapters and 66 books. The longest verse is Esther 8:9. The shortest verse is John 11:35. The shortest book in the Old Testament is Obadiah. The shortest chapter is Esther 10. The shortest Psalm is Psalms 117; the longest Psalm is Psalms 119. There are 960 Old Testament passages quoted, or referred to, in the New Testament.
Best of all, in the Bible I see that I am a lost sinner; that Jesus Christ came to be my Saviour; and believing in Him, I am saved.
“From a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:15.
