Who decided which book would go after the other and who published the first official Bible?
2006-09-24 16:16:52 · update #1
Emperor Constantine determined the books of the bible at the Council of Nicea aprox 337 AD or so.
The first publisher of the book was, of course, the first person to make and use a printing press - which was Johannes Gutenberg around 1447 AD. Publishing as such, did not exist before then.
Prior to that time, Bibles were made one by one by legions of monk scribes in monasteries. Each one was a work of art. And they were very expensive. Only nobillity or maybe well off merchants could afford to order one made for themselves.

"Chris P" is purely approximately mind-blowing - in case you anticipate that "Revelation" is the final e book of what Christians call the "New testomony." yet is is very speculative to anticipate that the "John" in question grew to become into an apostle. no one has clue as to the identity of the "John" in question. yet in addition undergo in strategies that the actual compilation of many of the "New testomony" grew to become into completed by making use of a value appointed by making use of the Romans some 1000's of years after the loss of life of each and all the writers. And no one has any theory what they did to the texts - even nevertheless we do be responsive to they cherry-picked re what could or should not be secure. the unlucky burning of the library of Alexandria destroyed lots of the source and acta of that cost's paintings.

For one, the Bible was compiled over centuries and the final canon was not decided upon, until after Constantine's death.
