Original language OLD TESTAMENT


The Hebrew Bible (Hebrew: )", also known as the Tanakh, consists of 39 books. "Hebrew" in "Hebrew Bible" may refer to either the Hebrew language or to the Hebrew people who historically used Hebrew as a spoken language, and have continuously used the language in prayer and study, or both. The texts were mainly written in Biblical Hebrew, with some portions (notably in Daniel and Ezra) in Biblical Aramaic. Biblical Hebrew, sometimes called Classical Hebrew, is an archaic form of the Hebrew language. The very first translation of the Hebrew Bible was into Greek. This is known as the Septuagint (LXX), which later became the received text of the Old Testament in the church and the basis of its canon. This began sometime in the 2nd or 3rd century BCE, with the first portion of the Hebrew Bible, theTorah, being translated into Koine Greek. Over the next century, other books were translated (or composed) as well. This translation became known as the Septuagint and was widely used by Greek-speaking Jews, and later by Christians. It differs somewhat from the later standardized Hebrew (Masoretic Text). This translation was promoted by way of a legend that seventy separate translators all produced identical texts.

The Latin Vulgate by Jerome was based upon the Hebrew for those books of the Bible preserved in the Jewish canon (as reflected in the Masoretic Text), and on the Greek text for the rest. Other ancient Jewish translations, such as the Aramaic Targums, conform closely to the Masoretic Text, and all medieval and modern Jewish translations are based upon the same. Christian translations also tend to be based upon the Hebrew, though some denominations prefer the Septuagint (or may cite variant readings from both). Bible translations incorporating modern textual criticism usually begin with the Masoretic Text, but also take into account possible variants from all available ancient versions.

New Testament

Main article: Development of the New Testament canon


The New Testament is a collection of 27 books[66] of 4 different genres of Christian literature (Gospels, one account of the Acts of the Apostles, Epistles and an Apocalypse). Jesus is its central figure. The New Testament presupposes the inspiration of the Old Testament [67] (2 Timothy 3:16). Nearly all Christians recognize the New Testament as canonical scripture. These books can be grouped into: The Gospels

Synoptic Gospels Gospel According to Matthew Gospel According to Mark Gospel According to Luke Gospel According to John

Narrative literature, account and history of the Apostolic age

Acts of the Apostles

Pauline Epistles

Epistle to the Romans First Epistle to the Corinthians Second Epistle to the Corinthians Epistle to the Galatians Epistle to the Ephesians Epistle to the Philippians Epistle to the Colossians First Epistle to the Thessalonians Second Epistle to the Thessalonians Pastoral epistles First Epistle to Timothy Second Epistle to Timothy Epistle to Titus Epistle to Philemon Epistle to the Hebrews General epistles, also called catholic epistles Epistle of James First Epistle of Peter Second Epistle of Peter First Epistle of John

Second Epistle of John Third Epistle of John Epistle of Jude Apocalyptic literature, also called Prophetical Revelation, or the Apocalypse

Original language
See also: Language of the New Testament The mainstream consensus is that the New Testament was written in a form of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the Conquests of Alexander the Great (335323 BC) until the evolution of Byzantine Greek (c. 600).

What is the Bible?


The Bible is the account of God's action in the world and his purpose with all creation. The writing of the Bible took place over sixteen centuries and is the work of over forty human authors. It is a quite amazing collection of 66 books with very different styles all containing the message God desired us to have. The Bible has two main parts. The first part is called The Old Testament, the second, The New Testament. A "testament" is a covenant, or an agreement. The Old Testament begins with Genesis, which means "beginnings." The last book of the New Testament is called Revelation or Apocalypse, which reveals how everything will end. The first books of the Old Testament are a history of God's dealings with people. There are also books of songs (Psalms), wise sayings (Proverbs), and books written by prophets. All of these books point toward events which are recorded in the New Testament. The first four books of the New Testament are historical records of the life and teaching of Jesus, called the Gospel (Good News). The next book, Acts, tells what Jesus did in the lives of his followers. The rest of the New Testament contains letters which were written to early Christians to explain and teach about various issues.

WHERE IS THE WORD BIBLE CAME FROM


The writings which eventually were gathered together and came to be known as "The Holy Bible" were written over a period of 1500 years by more than 40 different authors living on 3 different continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe). While the text itself was penned by the hands of its various human authors, the ultimately divine origin of Scripture is testified to numerous times within the text itself and has been repeatedly confirmed throughout history by its steadfast integrity and reliability. Based upon the textual evidence, two key doctrines may be discerned [Note 1]
