N2  - The Bible is the world's best-known text. Available in over three thousand languages and taking innumerable forms, each version is revelation, evolving as a reflection of its own culture and moment. Bruce Gordon Traces the Bible's astounding journey from its emergence as a codex in the second country, to the reformation, to the spectacular growth of Christianity in the Global South today. It has been a tool for violence and oppression and expressed hopes for freedom in the struggle of liberation. Found in desert monasteries and Chinese house churches, in Byzantine  cathedrals and Guatemalan villages, it has been a book in motion from its very beginning, a product of more than two thousand years of wandering, restlessness and change
