The word "Bible" originated from the Greek, referring to the set of sacred books. The books were written on papyrus sheets in the form of scrolls or parchments.

The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek and ranging from Genesis to Revelation.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Bible was written in Hebrew (the predominant language spoken in Israel during the OT), Aramaic (a set of dialects, assimilated to Hebrew, with which some biblical passages were also written), and Greek (the language adopted in Israel during the conquests of Alexander the 1st, with which the NT was written -Koine Greek).

Counting the number of characters, Job 3:2 is the smallest: "He said:". John 11.35 is the second shortest: "Jesus Wept" and the smallest in the King James Version.

The Bible was written over the course of more or less 1,600 years (from 1500 BC to the mid-100s AD) in different languages, by approximately 40 authors, at different times, with varying literary styles and genres.

The central theme of the Bible is the person of Jesus Christ, to whom everything converges. From Genesis to Revelation, all the books point to God, in the person of Jesus, the author of human salvation (Luke 24:27, 44-45; Acts 10:43).

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the entire Bible. It is a didactic psalm, formed by an acrostic of the Hebrew alphabet, and has 176 verses.

Moses wrote the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy -also known as The Torah), making him the greatest author in the Old Testament. There were several authors who only wrote one book. The author who wrote the most books in the Bible was the apostle Paul, with 13 books in the New Testament.

The Bible is divided into Old and New Testaments, a separation of the books written before and after Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is made up of 39 books and runs from Genesis to Malachi. The New Testament is made up of 27 books and runs from Matthew to Revelation.
