The New Testament

The United Nations reports that the Bible has lost its traditional ranking as the most translated work of literature in the world.

A 1971 study by UNESCO, the most recent UN study on worldwide translations, shows that V. I. Lenin's works have far outdistanced the Good Book.

The UN says that Lenin's writings were translated into 381 languages and dialects, compared to 215 translations for the Bible; in third place were Karl Marx's writings, with 148 translations.

Near the bottom, but listed by the UN, were the works of Dwight D. Eisenhower: Ike's writings were translated into three languages.
