(531 posts)43. book about all the people who were executed after translating the bible

needless to say I would give my eye teeth to know what these sad unfortunate folks, killed in all kinds of grisly ways, found in there that was so unsettlling as to kill them over it. I've heard there are as many as 5000 different translations of the bible; if my memory was not so screwed up because of PTSD I'd learn all the necessary languages so I could translate it myself
