What Is the Bible?
The Bible is not a single book, but a collection of 66 books written by multiple authors. Christians believe these writings are inspired by God and communicate His message clearly and reliably.
It is divided into:
Old Testament — the history, law, and prophets before Jesus
New Testament — the life of Jesus and the early church
Together, they tell one continuous story: God creating, humanity falling into sin, and God providing a way of rescue.
