Those who are new to
Christianity might sometimes ask the question. There is no need to be surprised
about that. We are not born in the world where Christian message would be all
around us. Some of us have not heard a single message from the Gospel and have
no idea what Jesus did for us before we really got converted. So, how do we
know what books are in the Bible, what Old and New Testaments are, to say
nothing of the number of pages the Bible has!
Well, to tell the truth we
cannot exactly answer the question. The most correct answer would be: a lot of.
The fact is that there is a multitude of Bible versions and those versions have
different number of pages. It does not mean those Bibles are different in terms
of the number of Biblical books they contain or the Canonical content that they
have. No! But some might have a lot of commentaries, others might not. Some
might have study guides and parallel verses and etc.
Most Bibles have over one
thousand pages though. Hope the answer satisfied your curiosity. Sorry for not
being more exact, but it is not easy to do that.
