Below was another good reason to HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST as Lord,
In the days of Edward I, who ruled England in the thirteenth century, the
price of a fairly well written Bible was 37 pounds, or approximately $184.
The hire of a laborer was a penny and a half a day. The purchase of a copy
of the Bible would have taken such a person 4,800 days, or thirteen years
and fifty-five days, of continuous labor. Excluding Sabbaths, something more
than fifteen years and three months of constant labor would have been
required to compass the price.
