The Bible is a collection of 66 different books and letters, written over a period of approximately 1500 years up to about 100 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is divided into two major parts, called the Old Testament (the first 39 books) and the New Testament (the last 27 books).
The Bible is a book primarily about God’s revelation of himself to mankind and his relationship with people. It is not just a book of history, but its accounts of God’s dealings with individuals and nations are as relevant to the modern world as they have been to every age since they were written.
The Bible has stood the test of time, the greatest test of all literature. It was completed nearly 2,000 years ago, yet is now read more than any other book and by people of widely varying cultures. It is still the world’s best-selling book.
