Understanding the basics (Part2).
The bible is not one book as many think it is, it's a collection of ancient writings, comprised of 66 separate books, written over a period of approximately 1600 years, by about 40 different authors. The Old Testament contains 39 books written from around 1500 to 400 BC, and the New Testament 27 books written from around 40 to 90 AD. The original Old Testament was written predominantly in Hebrew, with some Aramaic, while the original New Testament was written in Greek. The Jewish Bible (Tanakh) is the same as the Christian Old Testament, except for its book arrangements.
The history of the bible begins with the Jewish Scriptures. The historical record of the Jews was written down on leather scrolls and tablets over centuries, and the authors included , shepherds, prophets,kings and other leaders. The first five books are called the Law, which were written and/or edited primarily by Moses in the early 1400's BC. Thereafter, other texts were written and collected by the Jewish people during the next 1,000 years. About 450 BC, the Law and the other Jewish Scriptures were arranged by councils of rabbis (Jewish teachers), who then recognized the complete set as the inspired and sacred authority of God (Elohim). At some time during this period, the books of the Hebrew Bible were arranged by topic, including The Law (Torah), the Prophets (Nebiim), and the Writings (Ketubim).
Around about 250 BC, the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek by Jewish scholars in Alexandria, Egypt. This translation became known as the "Septuagint" meaning 70, traditionally the amount of men that would be assigned to the job of translation, in this case it could have been 72 men. It was during this process that the order of the books was changed to the order we have in today's Bible. Historical (Genesis - Esther), poetic (Job - Song of Songs), and prophetic (Isaiah - Malachi). By 500 AD, some estimate, scripture could already be found in more than 500 languages. In the 1380s the first English translations were made by John Wycliffe. It is estimated that there have been about 450 English translations over the years. The first English tranlation was handwritten and contained 80 books??
