An Overview of the Bible
THE BIG IDEA
The Bible is a big book comprised of 66 smaller books, all united by a common theme of redemption.
What You Need to Know
The word
Bible
comes from the Greek word biblos, which means book.
The Bible is not a single volume, but an entire library of 66 books. It includes letters (epistles), histories, Gospels, poems, prayers, and other kinds of literature.
These writings were penned by many authors who lived in various lands and circumstances.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one primary story of redemption. This story runs like a thread through the entire Bible. Though the story includes many different people, we read of God’s redeeming work in each book of the Bible.
