The word ‘The Bible’ comes from a Greek word ‘τὰ βιβλία’. The Bible is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures written by human beings through Divine Inspiration and also an account of the relationship between God and man.
There are Holy Books written in The Old Testament and in The New Testament. The Old Testament is the account of God’s Word interaction with the People of Israel while the New Testament is the Word from God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit to the people of the whole world.
The Catholic Bible has 73 Books, which include the Deuterocanonical Books that the Protestant Churches have a low opinion about.
It is from The Catholic Bible that we derive the Catholic Daily Readings.
