Who was the first person to print the bible?

Who Printed the Bible depends of what langue you are talking about and what you mean by print. The very first part of the Bible was written by God Himself (Exo 31:18). In Exodus we read that the Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God. The Bible was written down by various people used by God, and they faithfully translated and copied throughout the centuries. The first printed book printed on the printing press was the Bible. It was printed by Gutenberg. The Bible printed was in Latin, and was later translated into other languages including English. Printing techniques improved over the next few centuries and now we have the many different versions of Bibles we have now.
