The Bible





The word Bible is derived through the ecclesiastical Latin term biblia, from the Greek term meaning books, and refers to the Old and New Testaments. God’s Holy Scriptures, the Holy Bible, was written by men divinely inspired by God and it records God’s revelation of Himself to humans.


It has God, the Holy Spirit for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without mixture of error for its matter. The Bible above all talks about God and His relationship to the world. The Bible is a rule or standard of authority for Christians.


The Bible is divided into two parts. The Old Testament which was primarily written in Hebrew, with some portions of Ezra-Nehemiah and Daniel in Aramaic, consist of thirty-nine books. The New Testament which was written in Greek consists of twenty-seven books. Combined, there are sixty-six books in the entire Bible.
