macktown928: oh I just wanted to give you info on why we call it THE BIBLE, It is derived for the LATIN biblia,which came from the GREEK biblos , meaning "book." THE GREEK word biblos in turn is derived from byblos, meaning "papyrus," the name of the material upon which ancient books were written. THE GREEKS called this writing material byblos because they obtained it from the Phoenician port of Byblos.
THE BIBLE has 66 books and was written by 35 or 40 men over a period of some 1,500 years. The books are called the "WORD OF GOD," or "SCRIPTURES" "SCRIPTURES" means "WRITINGS."
