The Bible contains 66 books, divided among the Old and New Testaments. There are 39 books in the Old Testament, and 27 books in the New Testament. Testament means "covenant" or "contract." The Bible was written by over 40 different authors from all walks of life: shepherds, farmers, physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and kings. Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, referred to as the Pentateuch, which was: the foundation of the Bible. The Apostle Paul wrote 14 books (over half of the New Testament).
The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.
"Canon" comes from the Greek word "Kanon," signifying a measuring rod. To have the Bible "canonized" meant that it had been measured by the standard or test of divine inspiration and authority. The Bible became the collection of books or writings accepted by the apostles and leadership of the early Christian church as a basis for Christian belief.
