{{overview}}The [[Bible]] is a collection of books, poetry and letters that were written over hundreds of years. The [[Old Testament]] books were written in [[Hebrew]] and compiled into a collection before the time of [[Christ]]. A small amount of the [[book of Daniel]] in the Old Testament was written in [[Aramaic]]. The [[New Testament]] books were written after the [[resurrection of Jesus]] in an ancient form of Greek known as [[Koine Greek]]. Over the following centuries these books were compiled into the single collection that makes up today's Bible.

===Reformation Translations=== ===English Translations=== The efforts of translating the Bible from its original languages of Greek and Hebrew into English can be traced back to the end of the 7th century, however it was not until the fourteenth century that a complete translation was finished. There have been hundreds of subsequent translations into English, some of the best known include the archaic [[King James Version]] and the Modern English Version. ===Modern-day Translation efforts=== {{stub}} ==Quotes== [[Erasmus]]: Christ wishes his mysteries to be made to be made known as widely as possible.
