DAVID'S HERITAGE

A Timeless Book

The Bible remains the most-read text on Earth. It is also an essential reference work: its historical, theological and poetic texts still speak to and guide millions of Jews and Christians and other people around the world. And that's not to mention the artists, writers, musicians and playwrights who have been influenced by the Bible. Even the countless translations of the Bible have helped shape and consolidate the use of many languages and dialects.
