Answer 1

The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "Biblia", meaning "books." Therefore, the Bible is a collection of "books." The content was first passed on by oral tradition over a long period of time before it was put in written form.

The Old Testament was composed in Hebrew and translated into Greek around the 2nd and 3rd centuries before Christ. The New Testament was composed in Greek during the 2nd half of the 1st century A.D.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Scripture grew from the life, worship and teaching of the early Church. Therefore, the Church is its authentic interpreter, under the active help of the same Holy Spirit.

The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were formed in three stages. First, Jesus' own teaching in his early lifetime. Second, the oral tradition in which the apostles passed on what Jesus had said and done; and third, the putting into writing of the Gospels that we have till this day.

In interpreting Sacred Scripture, the Church searches out: (1) the human author's meaning; (2) the context of the text in relation to the whole Bible; (3) within our own search for meaning; (4) under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through the authentic interpretation of the Magisterium, the teaching Church.
Peace and every blessing!

Answer 2

The word Bible comes from the Greek word "Biblos," which is translated "book." The original manuscripts of the Bible were kept in the synagogues. Those who had custody of the manuscripts first used the Greek word to describe the collection, which later became known as "the Book."

Answer 3

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary the word bible[3] is from Anglo-Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin, as used in the phrase biblia sacra ("holy books"). This then stemmed from the term (Greek: τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια Ta biblia ta hagia, "the holy books"), which derived from biblion ("paper" or "scroll,” the ordinary word for "book"), which was originally a diminutive of byblos ("Egyptian papyrus"), possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece.

Biblical scholar Mark Hamilton states that the Greek phrase Ta biblia ("the books") was "an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books several centuries before the time of Jesus," and would have referred to the Septuagint. The Online Etymology Dictionary states, "The Christian scripture was referred to in Greek as Ta Biblia' as early as c.223."

Answer 4

It is derived from the Greek word "biblios" meaning "the books". When the bishops of the Catholic Church gathered in Council at Carthage, North Africa at the end of the 4th Century for the purpose of defining the Canon of Scripture once and for all time, they came from many nations and cultures, so they communicated in Greek, the universal language of educated people of the time. Therefore, when the job waas done, and the 73 inspired books of Scripture had been defined and bound between two covers for the first time, they called the resulting work "biblios" - "the books".

Answer 5

If you mean ORIGIN of the word Bible - it came into English through from the Latin for Book. There are similar, earlier greek and Phoenician words, that may well be the source of the Latin.

If you mean ORIGEN - he was an intellectual, a scholar and an influential theologian in the early (Greek) church. Some of his views were radical enough, that some considered him a heretic, but there is no doubt of his intellect or of his influence.
