== == The word comes from the Greek 'Biblos' simply meaning 'book', although The Bible is actually a collection of many books and letters written by many different authors including Mark, John, Luke & Matthew, all of which were inspired by God.
The word BIBLE isn't in the Bible. So who got the word Bible?

Many conservative Christians believe that the Bible was dictated by God to the various authors and is therefore wholly infallible.

Throughout the Middle Ages, it was taken for granted that God 'wrote' the Bible by dictating it directly to the human authors whose names are attached to the various books of the Bible. A common picture at the beginning of copies of the Gospel is of the evangelist sitting and writing his Gospel with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, with its beak in his ear, dictating the text. As medieval scholars began reading the Bible more critically, they faced the question whether the human authors of Scripture had not perhaps made at least some human, and therefore fallible, contribution.

Bible (more or less the greek biblos) means "book" in greek. Scriptures or scriptura (in latin) means "what has been written". That's a general hint: In the past greek and latin were THE languages for everything, especially science. Scriptures is therefore not a less respectful notion for the holy book... but bible is much better known.

The Bible is the Word of God. It was inspired by God. This is the perception held by many, but it is written in Scripture that the Word, who was in the beginning, was made flesh and was called Jesus. Jesus never referred to Scripture as the Word of God, but rather the words of God, or Scripture.

The Bible is called God's story because it is written to help us know how the Earth and then Man. came into existence by the Almighty Father. It is based on every that was. is. and will be. according to the Father's Holy will. In essence the Bible is God's story told by those who witnessed it, or was inspired by God to tell it.
