The number of people that think things from Dante’s Inferno and Paradise Lost are from the Bible is shockingly large.
Just goes to show how few actually read anything from the various flavors of Bible. So much effort to bring those words to a form the average person could read, instead of relying on Clergy to interpret for them… and no one does it.
So much effort?
Isn’t it the second most mass produced book in the world?
After a certain point, the automation makes making more of them effortless.
Also, it’s an attention economy. If you want me to read your self-help/alt-history book, you need to give me an actual reason.
You do realize the movable type printing press was invented by Gutenberg and initially used to reproduce the bible right?
So yeah… a lot of effort was most definitely put into bringing the Bible to the general masses.
That’s kind of the point of the invention… to reproduce it at scale so it would be cheaper and everyone could read it instead of relying on the clergy to interpret for them.
