| The first printed Bible |
The word
Bible comes from Greek as biblia and means "books" in English
because it has many books in one book. The Christian Bible is a collection of
66 books with the first 39 being The Old Testament and the other 27, New
Testament. The Old Testament was written by Jews between 16th and 12th century
BCE and both religions share it. But Jews interfere with the New Testament
since it comes after Moses and that's what makes the Christian Bible unique.
The New Testament consists of 4 different genres of Christian literature:
Gospels-Jesus’ life and the main part-, Acts of the Apostles-acts of his
followers-, Epistles-apostolic letters especially Saint Paul's- and an
Apocalypse -revelation of St.John the Divine-. The words were spread by the
Apostles and their Disciples to the outside world that Christianity turned out
to be the licit religion of the Roman Empire (313 A.D.). According to
researches The Holy Bible has been world's best-selling book and still is.
Christians do take the bible seriously and they read it over and over to in
order to strengthen their beliefs, correct their lives, actions and behaviors.
