What About … The Bible
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible continues to be the best selling book of all time. Throughout the ages, the Bible has provided inspiration, comfort and guidance to those who have read it. But is the Bible merely an inspirational book? It is this, but so much more! Let’s spend a few moments reviewing some important truths about the Bible.

What is the Bible?
The word “Bible” is from a Greek word that means “book”. What is this “good book”? That question has a two-part answer.

First, the Bible is actually a collection of books –66 of them to be exact-from the first book, Genesis, to the last, Revelation. These books cover thousands of years and were written in either Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek. There are many different kinds of writings in the Bible: historical narrative, prophecy, poetry, speeches, letters and so on. From a merely human perspective, there is no question that the Bibles is a masterpiece of literature.
