The books of the Bible might have been written much earlier but they were not compiled into a single book until the English did it as a gift to the Pope. Some say that Jerome did it much earlier but that's just to make the myth more believable.Wrong on all accounts.

Written over 1,600 years ago, it contains the complete New Testament and about half of the Old Testament and Apocrypha (from the Septuagint).
Correct, but, even it (and the Codex Vaticanus) have additions and subtractions from later versions suggesting that far from being the word of fucking 'god' this shit was constantly cobbled together by men.
