The Bible is the collection of sixty-six books God has provided for you to hear Him speaking to you day by day. The Bible rose out of the experiences God's people had with God as he initiated his mission of redeeming a lost world.
The Bible is one way God uses to speak to you. As you pray and read the Bible, God shows you the work He is doing to create a "love relationship" with you, his invitation to you, and the life adjustments you need to make. As reading the Bible, listening to God , and obeying what He says allows you to encounter Him, you experience God.
Following the Bible's teachings makes you a unique people easily identified by the world, for the teachings are righteous and just.

Check an Encyclopaedia or Wikipaedia. Basically a compilation of religious works once stored in the Temple archives in Jerusalem, and written by many different authors in different centuries BC. The subject matter of these is the history, traditions and religious beliefs of the Hebrews or Jews, together with some sayings and tirades of particular Jewish prophets.
To which the Christian Bible has added works by a Jewish sect later known as the Christians, because they believed that a prophet called Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, or Anointed One, from the Greek Xristos meaning Messiah of the Jews anointed with the sacred oil (like a king). The Bible comes from the Greek word Biblos, meaning simply The Book. The Jewish Bible excludes the Christian books since the Jews are physical and spiritual descendants of that majority section of the Jewish people which concluded that Jesus was not their promised Messiah or God-chosen Saviour.
Fundamentalist Protestants believe that the Bible was written by God and so cannot err, whereas Episcopalians accept that it was written by men but men "inspired" by God. Catholic scholars tend to the latter judgement. Secular thinkers see it as the work of various Jewish groups who often held contradictory or conflictual positions and adopted ideas sometimes from the other peoples they were obliged to live amongst.
I should add that I am not criticising the Bible here but trying to give a sufficiently impartial explanation that it could be used by a university student from any religion in his/her written work.

The bible is slit in two section the first is to show that we all need a Savior as all have gone astray like sheep.
The second tells of God great love for us. When Jesus
walked on earth he did miracles and set people free.
That Jesus Love us first be dieing for us on the cross when we where still sinners. On the third day he Rosie in victory
If you decided today to love Jesus with all your heart, repent and
follow him you will have eternal life with him.
