Definition for Bible A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Bible: The Bible, or Holy Bible, is God's written word to us. It is from God and, if we let it, it can teach us, correct us, and train us in Godliness (see 2 Timothy 3:16). The purpose of this website is to encourage you regularly read the Bible, the greatest book ever written. The Bible is actually a collection of books, written by various authors over a period of several hundred years. Think of the Bible as a diverse anthology of Godly communication to us. It contains historic accounts, poetry, letters of instruction and encouragement, messages from God sent though his emissaries ("prophets"), and future prophecies. Altogether, the (Protestant) Bible contains 66 books. They are grouped into two sections. The "Old Testament" contains 39 books that precede and anticipate Jesus. The "New Testament" contains 27 books and cover Jesus' life and the work of his followers. (See our Internet resources page for sites with more information on this topic.) |
