A great many recognized scholars in the world consider that the Bible is the greatest book ever written. But for reasons beyond our comprehension the world in general doesn’t recognize it so. This is not the only paradox. There are innumerable ones similar to that. The literary world treat it as a classic like Shakespeare, Milton and the like, and the religious world, as one of the religious books. The greatest historian of the 20th century, Arnold Toynbee, a British born scholar, considers this book as a major source of primary reference for research in world history. That is the status of this book in the secular world.
This book has to its credit certain interesting statistical records such as, the greatest number of copies printed every year, the greatest number of books sold in the publishing world, the greatest number of translations of this book in different languages, the cost of this book being lowest in the publishing market and so on. Though educationalists know these facts, they regard it not stylish in these days to speak anything good of the Bible. This is another paradox about the Bible.
