But without the printing press, Bibles would really be few and far between in the year 800 AD. It wouldn’t be like going to the store and buying a paperback book. No, already you can see, there were missionaries going into Asia Minor or wherever.

The rest is a matter for apologetics, interesting in itself.

But that is why there were synagogues, where the scriptures were set out to be read.

Remember, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

And the Apostle Thomas, Who Doubted, founded the Church in India. Separated by near two thousand years, and yet faithful to the same doctrines that Rome has always held to.

Odd how the Truth survives, no?
