The Bible is called the book of books, or the only book.
The Bible is the word of God. It was written by more than 40 people with different identities, knowledge and experiences. They are distributed in three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa) and use three languages (Latin: Biblia, Greek: β? βλο? , English: Bible), the whole Bible records 1600 years. But there is a rare continuity, and the contents echo each other, confirm each other and do not conflict. It can be seen that there is only one author of the Bible, and that is God.
Since the Bible came out, it has been questioned, censured and even vilified. There is hardly a word that has not been repeatedly confirmed, but after thousands of years, it has not changed at all, let alone been abolished. On the contrary, archaeological discoveries add strong evidence to the Bible; The historical process is the wonderful and accurate fulfillment of biblical prophecy step by step. Facts have proved that the accuracy of biblical prophecy is 100%. Not a word of God is powerless, and not a word will be returned in vain. The Bible is inspired by God, and it is a complete revelation to people. It contains true and living truth, lifestyle, love and hope. Only through the Bible can we understand God's will in each of us, and thus gain the wisdom of salvation by believing in Jesus Christ.
The authors of the Bible come from different levels of life. For example, Moses is a political leader, Joshua is a military leader, David is a shepherd, Solomon is a king, Amos is a shepherd and fig tree repairman, Daniel is a state official, Matthew is a tax collector, Luke is a doctor, Paul is a rabbi and Peter is a fisherman.
The Bible is also written in different situations and occasions. It can be said that, for example, Paul wrote many volumes of letters in Roman prisons in Europe and Corinth; Jeremiah and Moses wrote the Bible in Egypt in Africa; Most other books are written in Asia. Moses mostly wrote books in the desert, David wrote poems in the countryside, Solomon wrote proverbs in the palace, John wrote revelations when he was in exile in Patmos, and Paul wrote five letters in prison. Write in different moods: some at the climax of joy, some at the trough of sadness and disappointment.
The Bible is the official classic of Christianity. Also known as the old and new contract. It is divided into two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament was originally the official classic of Judaism, and was later recognized as the Bible by Christianity. But Christianity believes that the Old Testament was made by God through Moses and Israel, and the New Testament was made by Jesus Christ and his followers.
The original text of the Old Testament is mainly written in Hebrew, and some paragraphs are written in Aramaic. The earliest bibles were copied with scrolls or papyrus. 1947, archaeologists discovered a relatively complete handwritten Hebrew Bible from the 2nd century BC to the 1 century AD in the cave in the Kumran area on the west bank of the Dead Sea. On this basis, the academic circles divide the ancient manuscripts of the Jewish Bible into three types: ancient Palestinian manuscripts, ancient Egyptian manuscripts and primitive traditional manuscripts.
The original text of the New Testament is Greek, which has been lost. The earliest manuscript fragments found now were copied in the 2nd century AD. After the text of the New Testament was basically finalized in the 4th century, manuscripts from Egypt, Alexandria and Syria became popular. At present, the earliest preserved Greek Bible manuscripts are from the 4th century to the 5th century, among which the most famous are the Sinai manuscript, Vatican manuscript and Alexander manuscript.
