What was the percentage of complete “Bibles” (All Scripture gathered in one place) divided into the number of ALL Christians?

In the year 10 AD? ZERO!

In the year 100 AD? Maybe a percentage high enough to register above 1%.

In the year 200 AD? Still less than 10%, probably.

To actually SEE the full works of Scripture, all in one place, was a rare privilege until the Catholic Church created the first Bible.

And even after that date, most learned Scripture through the ORAL Tradition and not through reading it themselves.

Again, a Bible was PRICELESS, it too thousands of man hours to produce each Bible prior to the printing press.
