Bible Versions & Historical Facts


Historical facts about the Holy Bible

The word “Bible” comes from the Greek word biblia which means papyrus rolls, volumes or books, or literally: brochures. The first Christian Greeks called the Scriptures “Ta Biblia”, meaning “THE Books”, the supreme books.

The word “testament” stems from the Greek word diathiki (testament, agreement) and translates into Latin as testamentum (testament, testimony). The Greek term has a broader meaning (agreement) than the Latin one, and some prefer to translate it as “alliance”.

During the formation of its canon, the Bible was originally not one book but a series of books and brochures. The notion of the Bible as a unique book is a rather modern one, despite the fact that it was assembled as a codex (book or compilation) during the 2nd century A.D. In the 4th century A.D., the Bible was still referred to in Latin as "Bibliotheca Divina", “The Divine Library”.
