The Bible Story
The Bible is the greatest story ever told . If you agree with this you are at the right place now. This is the only book which can tell you the end from the beginning.
-Did you know that the word Bible means book, actually, collection of books? And that there are 66 books contained in the Bible.
Lets break down the 66 books: 1. First we have the Old Testament which has39 books therein.
- 5 from the books of Moses which is also called the Torah
- 21 books of the prophets
- and 13 books of the writings
by the way, Torah simply means laws/instructions.
2. Then we have the New Testament which contains 27 books:
- Gospels = 4
- Book of Acts =1
- Pauline Epistles = 13
- General Epistles = 8
- Revelations = 1 ( this is the book that scares some people).
The bible was written by men , who were divinely inspired by God. Those who understand the concept of faith know what I'm talking about. We'll discuss that next.
