The early years of 13th century England were marked by two significant events: the first was the signing of Magna Carta (basis of political and personal liberty) by King John in 1215; the second, the division of the biblical books into chapters. Both events involved the tireless efforts of the then Archbishop of Canterbury - Stephen Langton. It was he who encouraged the barons and organised the opposition to John's tyranny; and it was he who made possible the better citation of biblical texts.
This latter contribution has implcations for us in our search for scriptural truth. Indeed, it provides further evidence (if more were needed) to support the contention that the Christian Bible is divinely - and exclusively - watermarked. The following page is, essentially, an addendum to "Balancing the Books".
