Lars Peter Larsen biography, In AD 303, Diocletian, a Roman emperor passed a law to burn all the Holy Bibles. Whoever owned a Bible were denied the basic rights and punished severely. The law, however, was unable to do away with the Bible or the passion that people had for it.
However, after two decades, Constantine I made efforts to rewrite the original scriptures in new scrolls. The Bibles which we have now are due to his great efforts and it could reach our hands, even in our own languages, due to the efforts and sacrifices of several men of God. Lars Peter Larsen had his share among them.
