Why is the bible called a mini-library?

I have never heard anyone call it that, but I suppose you could, since it's a collection of 66 books by 40+ writers written over many centuries. And yet all the books fit perfectly together, complementing each other, thus making the bible a book as well as a mini-library of sixty six books.


How did the first Bible come out?

The bible (or collection of books) was a collection of stories that had been passed down from generation to generation. Eventually some people wrote parts of the bible down, and these parts were copied over and over, while the method of verbal translation still existed. Eventually someone collected enough of these books to call it the bible. (Probably the Jewish bible to start.) The bible continued to be revised and updated throughout the years. By the time of the printing press, versions of the bible had been 'standardized'. More standardized versions of the Bible continued to be developed. Note that the Islam developed from Christianity which developed from Judaism, so the first bible was either one of Judaism or a still earlier religion.


What is the first part of Bible called?

The bible is split into two halves, the Old testament and the New testament. The first chapter in the Old testament is called Genesis. Beyond that, the first five books of the Old Testament are called by many names(The Pentateuch, The Torah, The Books of Moses) followed by the Nebi'im (stories of the prophets and their call to God), and finally the Kethubi'im (the writings such as the book of Psalms).


How many times does the Bible call Jesus Lord?

That would depend very much on the translation you are using. Some versions endeavour to translate individual words; others the broader meaning of the whole sentence. The disciples would have tended to call him 'Rabbi' during His ministry, and 'Lord' after the resurrection; although Peter recognised his Lordly authority at the transfiguration, so again you have variables.


Is the Old Testament the same as the Hebrew Bible?

The books are the same in translation, other than the fact that the Christians changed the order of the books. Jews themselves don't call it Old, since what others call the New books are not part of the Jewish canon.

How did the New Testament get added to the bible?

It didn't get "added" - the Bible is made up of the old Jewish books (what we call the Old Testament) and the books which concern Christ and the works and writings of his apostles. (what we call the New Testament). So there was no "Bible" before the New Testament.

What do you call the different volumes of the bible?

The different volumes of the Bible are commonly referred to as "books." The Bible is divided into two main sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament, each containing multiple books. For example, the Old Testament includes books like Genesis and Psalms, while the New Testament includes books like Matthew and Revelation. Together, these books make up the entirety of the biblical text.


What does roman catholicism's holy book consist of?

The holy book of the Catholic faith is the Holy Bible, as canonized after the Council of Nicaea, being reaffirmed at the Council of Trent after Martin Luther began removing books from the canon. So, the Catholic Bible includes all the same books as the Protestant versions, with the inclusion of what they call the "apocrypha". Namely, those are the books of Sirach (Ben Sira), Baruch, Song of Solomon, Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees (Eastern Orthodox Churches also include 3 Maccabees), Wisdom, and Tobit. These books tell the story of Israel during the so-called "intertestamental period", i.e. life under the Greeks in Alexander's Empire, then the Seleucid Empire. In essence, they fill in the contextual gap for Jesus' ministry.

What is another word for a story in a bible?

Ah, when we think about stories in the Bible, we can also call them "parables." Just like a painter uses different brushes to create a beautiful masterpiece, the Bible uses parables to teach important lessons and share wisdom with us. So, next time you read a story in the Bible, remember it's like a colorful brushstroke in the grand painting of life.
