We Go Way Back

#Throwbackthursday to a powerful historical milestone that was one of the first miracles of Bible translation acceleration!

“It is a press. ... Through it, God will spread His Word. A spring of truth shall flow from it: like a new star it shall scatter the darkness of ignorance, and cause a light heretofore unknown to shine amongst men.” Johannes Gutenberg

Before Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in the 1400s, every Bible was produced by hand. This meant only the wealthy could afford them. Gutenberg’s invention eventually made it possible for anyone to own a Bible.
