The Seven Wonders of the Bible.
There are the Seven Wonders of the World, but here are Seven Wonders of the Word:
(1) The Wonder of its Formation, i.e., the mysterious method of its formation. The way in which the Bible grew is one of the mysteries of time.
(2) The Wonder of its Unification: It is a library of 66 books, yet one book.
(3) The Wonder of its Age: Most ancient of all books.
(4) The Wonder of its Sale: Best seller of any book.
(5) The Wonder of its Interest. Only book in the world read by all classes.
(6) The Wonder of its Language. Written largely by uneducated men, yet the best from a literary standpoint.
(7) The Wonder of its Preservation. It has been the most hated book of all books, and time and again efforts have been made to annihilate it, yet it still exists. "The Word of our God shall stand for ever."
