The Bible refers to the canonical collections of books or sacred writings of Judaism and Christianity. Books included as canon in the Bible vary based on different traditions.
Judaism's Bible is often referred to as the Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible. It includes the books common to both the Christian and Hebrew Biblical canons.
The Christian Bible is often called the Holy Bible, Scriptures, or Word of God. It divides the books of the Bible into two parts; the Old Testament and the New Testament. Some versions of the Christian Bible also have some of the books listed separately in an Apocrypha section. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Old Testament canons contain books not found in the Tanakh, but are found in the Greek Septuagint, oldest known ancient translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. -Wikipedia.org |
