Bible book

Question 1

The word Bible comes from the Greek ta _____, that means ‘the books.’ When this
word was taken over into Latin, it became singular, the Bible. The word bible means “_______.” It is derived from the Greek term biblion, the diminutive form of _____, which means
“papyrus” or “book.” That usage in turn comes from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos,
where the papyrus plant was cut and dried in strips for use as writing paper. The manuscript
material thus produced was called after the place of its manufacture, ______ (Ibid.).
The Bible is more than a book, it is a library. In it, you will find a number of works,
collected together in two large groupings, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The word
“testament” here does not mean what we might take it to mean in modern English: it is the same
word as the Latin ________, which translates the Hebrew word meaning “covenant”. A
covenant is a sacred agreement between God and His people (John Mark Terry). So the Bible is
the collection of books which tells us about the covenant, the agreement, which God made with
Israel through Abraham (the old covenant) and which He fulfilled in Jesus (the new covenant)
