Author Description

The Bible you see here is the King James Version – KJV.The Bible is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures. Varying parts of the Bible are considered to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and humans.What is regarded as canonical text differs depending on traditions and groups; a number of Bible canons have evolved, with overlapping and diverging contents. The Hebrew Bible overlaps with the Greek Septuagint and the Christian Old Testament. The Christian New Testament is a collection of writings by early Christians, believed to be mostly Jewish disciples of Christ, written in first-century Koine Greek.The Bible has been a massive influence on literature and history, especially in the Western World, where the Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed using movable type. According to the March 2007 edition of Time, the Bible "has done more to shape literature, history, entertainment, and culture than any book ever written. Its influence on world history is unparalleled, and shows no signs of abating." With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies, it is widely considered to be the most influential and best-selling book of all time.By the 2nd century BCE, Jewish groups began calling the books of the Bible the "scriptures" and they referred to them as "holy", and Christians now commonly call the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible "The Holy Bible" or "the Holy Scriptures".The first part of the Christian Bible is called the Old Testament. The Old Testament largely represents the Greek translation (or of it in other languages) of the Hebrew sacred text as it was through the 2nd century BC. A division of Jewish origin based on the Old Testament's functional criteria divides it into the law ("the law of Moses", "the Pentateuch," the first "five books" of the Bible), the Holy Prophets and Writings. The second part of the Christian Bible is called the New Testament.
