Dispose Age Text For Free

Old Bibles published between 1900-2000 are almost exclusively considered reading material and unless your copy was owned by someone famous, it is not worth further research. For instance, Elvis Presley's personal Bible, published in 1977, sold for $94,000 at auction in 2012.

According to Arab News, Muslims are forbidden to recycle, pulp, or shred worn-out copies of the text; instead, burning or burying the worn-out copies in a respectful manner is required. Respect for the written text of the Quran is an important element of religious faith in Islam.

?And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.? (Rev. ?19.)

Bibles before 1700 printed in England vary in value from $100 to $1 million depending on the edition, the printer, the paper, the binding, the owners and as always in the world of books -- condition. Be careful with any Bible, even one in poor condition, as they were often the depository of family genealogical records.

If one has no access to a shredder, then the next best thing to do is to use scissors to cut them up in such a way that the Qur'anic verses and texts are unrecognizable. Then one can place them in recycling boxes. In this way, an obligation has been discharged.

Before you throw away an old Bible, think about giving it to someone or donating it to a local church or ministry. Some Christians like to offer old Bibles free of charge at their own yard sales. The idea to keep in mind is that the Word of God is precious.

If you need to dispose of a Bible, consider donating it to a person or a charity who could use it, like a church or a Christian homeless shelter. If you prefer to permanently dispose of the book, do so respectfully, such as with a thoughtful burial or cremation, or have the book recycled.
