[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 77659175, member: 342064"] Well the first print of the bible was in 1455 with the Gutenberg Bible. But there were pieces of the book around long before this going back to BC. In 382AD the pope commissioned the latin bible in writing. But it wasn't until the 16th century that it was translated into other languages for the general public as the first and only book to be printed. For the West this was the first book and it had a big impact on their worldview.

I'm not saying the bible was the first text around though some writing go back a long way. I am saying that the bible and the pieces of text around before that leading up to the new testament, so through the Torah down to the New testament writings and then through the church, its preservation of the text and its printing. THis is the wests history of text. Though the west in also rooted in Greco Roman text it was the Christianisation of that text into the western Christian worldview that formed the basis for western culture, thought and text for which the western canon grew out from. Ie Augustine was an early thinker who influenced western thought on many issues. [/QUOTE]
