Show Notes

Translation is integral to a religion built on the very idea of spreading that faith worldwide.

It's not surprising, then, that the Christian Bible has been translated into more (way more) languages than any other single piece of writing. There are approximately 3,500 languages into which at least a part of the Bible has been translated, and — maybe more shockingly — there are an estimated 900 different translations into English alone.
