Paraphrase the following paragraph. do not plagarize!
"reading can never die out among christians. this is because the whole christian revelation centers around a book. god chose to reveal himself to us in the most personal way through his word—the bible. the word bible is simply the greek word for “the book.” indeed the bible is the primal book, the most ancient of all literary texts and the source of all literacy. reading the bible tends to lead to reading other books, and thus to some important habits of mind.”
