The document discusses the history of writings that make up the Bible. It describes how the Torah/Old Testament was first written down around 200 years after Moses, and continued to be edited and added to over hundreds of years by various Jewish scholars. The New Testament Gospels were first written 40-100 years after Jesus, with hundreds appearing initially before four were officially canonized in 325 AD. The Bible has since gone through numerous translations and revisions in various languages over centuries as scholars have attempted to fuse various textual sources into a single authoritative version.
