it reminds me that until quite recently, most people experienced the Bible by hearing, not reading.

Even today, there are something like 700 million illiterate people in the world.

Excellent point - and some of them are administering major urban school systems!

But seriously, that makes me wonder, when I think about all the Bibles that are distributed in far-off places by Voice of the Martyrs and other organizations, how many additional people who can’t read are reached.
