Zondervan has placed one of only two original versions of the handwritten New International Version (NIV) Bible Across America up for auction for charity. Proceeds from the eBay auction will benefit Biblica, holder of the NIV copyright.

The three-volume, 2,200-page leather-bound Bible features the world's most widely read contemporary English Bible translation handwritten one verse at a time by more than 31,000 people as part of Zondervan's 2008 Bible Across America nationwide tour, which commemorated the 30th anniversary of the NIV.

The nine-month, cross-country tour--featuring a 42-foot recreational vehicle--covered more than 22,500 miles, 90 cities and 40 states, Zondervan officials said.
