A Written Relic? (March 14)

March 14 – A Written Relic?

How old is the Bible? How did early Christians decide which writings to include in the Bible? Why do Catholic versions of the Bible have more books than most Protestant versions? Why do we have so many versions anyway? How can we be sure that the Biblical message has been accurately preserved and transmitted to us today?
