Is it possible that it was Shakespeare that wrote the Bible?
No, all of the Bible, even the Christian parts, were written over a thousand years before Shakespeare was born. If you are thinking that Shakespeare contributed to the King James Translation of the Bible which came out in Shakespeare's lifetime, again the answer is no. We know the names of the scholars who worked on the project and Shakespeare was not one of them. Nor is it likely that a high school graduate (maybe, he may not have even finished) with "small Latin and less Greek" would have been invited to participate in the translation of ancient texts from Hebrew, Greek and Latin sources. It is as laughable as suggesting that Elvis Presley wrote the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Who has sold more books Shakespeare or the bible?
The bible has definitely sold more then Shakspeare , according to the Guiness record books.
Did Shakespeare have anything to do with writing the bible?
No. The Bible was entirely writtencertainly before 200 AD, long before Shakespeare was born. The King James Translation of the Bible was first published during Shakespeare's lifetime, but Shakespeare had nothing to do with it. Hehad only a grammar school education and was not a cleric andso would under no circumstances have been called upon to help with the project.Nor is the text in any wayconsistent with his writing style, although it is also in Early Modern English. For example,Shakespeare's works exhibit a huge vocabulary of some 36,000 words, whereas the King James Bible uses only about 8,000. Although the translation is beautiful, it does not sound like Shakespeare.
Who said The sons remember The sons of the sons forget?
