It is thought by some that the tithe is most responsible for the spread of the Gospel. It was the first religion to incorporate tithes and allowed full time recruitment. Bible is also Latin it's meaning is small collection of books. There were many bibles but the Christian Bible is the most known. They were well protected and hidden after the barbarians burnt most of the major libraries of the world in a effort to wipe out knowledge. They did for a thousand years. What was left determined western civilization.
Fascinating. I'll have to definitely read more on this aspect.
Thanks!
