The Bible is a holy book: we call it the Holy Bible. But there is nothing holy, religious or spiritual about the word ‘Bible’ which is derived from the Latin word ‘biblia,’ and simply means books. The Bible is actually a collection of 66 books: 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament written by at least 40 different authors with diverse occupations such as kings, scholars, historians, prophets, poets, fishermen, a doctor and of course, the apostles of Christ. The genre of literature is also varied and includes history, story-narrative, poetry, wisdom, prophecy, letters, biographies (gospels) and apocalyptic literature.
