Book:

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 prophecies of future events.

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 after his death.
