How the Bible has changed over the past 2000 years

The Bible is the most widely-read book in the history of the world, far outselling any other book, with 3.9 billion copies sold over the last 50 years. Many believe it contains the actual word of God.

But many people don't realize that over the past two thousand years, this sacred text has changed a great deal. No 'first edition' exists.  What we have are copies, the first of which were made hundreds of years after the events supposedly took place.

For the first one hundred to two hundred years, copies of the Bible were made by hand… and not by professionals. This led to many errors, omissions, and - most importantly - changes.
