WHAT IS THE BIBLE? (1)

(Message by Tanny)

1. What is the Bible?

a) The Christian Bible contains 66 "Books." The Books are divided into Chapters. The Chapters are divided into Verses. So, if you wanted to locate John 3:16, you would open the Bible to the Book of John, then turn to Chapter 3, and then look for Verse 16. And there you would find one of the most popular Bible passages:

i) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 (from the New International Version (NIV) English translation)

b) The Old Testament has 39 books:
