An Overview of Bible

Bible is the sacred scripture of Christianity. The main source of knowledge, the main source of inspiration for Christians is supposed to be from the Holy bible. The Holy Qur’an also mentions about “Injeel”, the Gospel given to Jesus (pbuh).

The books of the Bible are divided by the Christians into two main parts:

1) The Old Testament

2) The New Testament

The books of the Old Testament are claimed to have been received through the Prophets who were prior to the Prophet Jesus, the Messiah. The books of the New Testament are believed to have been written through inspiration after Jesus.

All the books of the Old and the New Testament together are called Bible. Bible is a Greek word which means `book`

Both the Testaments are further subdivided into two parts. The first part of the Old Testament is believed to be authentic by almost all the ancient Christians, while the authenticity of the other parts is held to be doubtful and controversial.
