[[Image:BiblewithlightLies.jpg|thumb|400px|right|The Bible]]''In brief,'' The word Bible comes from the Greek word for book and has come to be used to refer to the complete collection of documents acknowledged by Christians to be inspired by God. Inspired by God means literally, "God breathed" - the actual words of God. This library contains 66 books and is divided into the Old and the New Testament. It tells of the story of the creation of the universe and man by God, the rebellion of man against God and his rescue plan for humanity through his Son, Jesus Christ. ---- '''Introduction''' [[An overview of the Bible]] and [[Bible Dictionary: Bible]] [[The formation and translations of the Bible|The formation and translations of the Bible - who wrote it, how it was put together and today's versions]] [[Characters of the Bible]] [[Bible studies, sermons, commentaries and references]] [[Miscellaneous Bible topics]] ---- '''Bible Versions in the wiki''' [[King James Version]] [[Bible, English, World English|The World English Bible]] [[The American Standard Version|American Standard Version Bible]] [[Updated King James Version|Updated King James Version]] [[Translation Projects:Urban Slang Version (2005 edition)]] ---- '''[[Old Testament]]''' * [[Books of the Law]] :* [[Genesis]] | [[Exodus]] | [[Leviticus]] | [[Numbers]] | [[Deuteronomy]] * [[Historical Books of the Old Testament]]:* [[Joshua]] | [[Judges]] | [[Ruth]] | [[1 Samuel]] | [[2 Samuel]] | [[1 Kings]] | [[2 Kings]] | [[1 Chronicles]] | [[2 Chronicles]] | [[Ezra]] | [[Nehemiah]] | [[Esther]] * [[Poetical Books of the Old Testament]]:* Wisdom Books - [[Job]] | [[Proverbs]] | [[Ecclesiastes]]:* Poetry - [[Psalms]] | [[Song of Solomon]] | [[Lamentations]] * [[Prophetic Books of the Old Testament]]:* Major Prophets - [[Isaiah]] | [[Jeremiah]] | [[Ezekiel]] | [[Daniel]]:* Minor Prophets - [[Hosea]] | [[Joel]] | [[Amos]] | [[Obadiah]] | [[Jonah]] | [[Micah]] | [[Nahum]] | [[Habakkuk]] | [[Zephaniah]] | [[Haggai]] | [[Zechariah]] | [[Malachi]] ---- '''[[New Testament]]''' *[[Historical Books of the New Testament]]:* [[Gospel|The Gospels]] - [[Matthew]] | [[Mark]] | [[Luke]] | [[John]]:* Church History - [[Acts]] *[[Introductions to the New Testament letters|Epistles]]::* [[Pauline epistles]] - [[Romans]] | [[1 Corinthians]] | [[2 Corinthians]] | [[Galatians]] | [[Ephesians]] | [[Philippians]] | [[Colossians]] | [[1 Thessalonians]] | [[2 Thessalonians]] | [[1 Timothy]] | [[2 Timothy]] | [[Titus]] | [[Philemon]]:* [[General epistles]] - [[Hebrews]] | [[James]] | [[1 Peter]] | [[2 Peter]] | [[1 John]] | [[2 John]] | [[3 John]] | [[Jude]] *Prophetic books::*[[Revelation]] ---- '''Miscellaneous''' [[C.
