Answer 3

The sacred book of Christianity, a collection of ancient writings including the books of both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The Hebrew Scriptures, the sacred book of Judaism.
A particular copy of a Bible: the old family Bible

Answer 4

The word bible 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 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 Byblos from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece.

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."

END OF CUT AND PASTE

Or perhaps this is rubbish and some one at an Amercian church group came up with a cute little acronym, hopped in a time machine and ... sigh

The poster before me looks quite cute, doesn't she?

Now watch someone cut and paste that wiki entry without acknowledging it.

Answer 7

uh yeah.... it means 'book'
gospel means 'good news' in case that was going to be your next trivia question.

But i've got some trivia for you:
how many books are in the bible?
how many chapters?
how many verses?
Can you name all of the books of the bible in consecutive order?
LOL *grins* i can. I also know the answer to the above questions. :) ♥

Answer 8

Yes and since you know I don't have to tell you but it's books.

However the word is not found in the Scriptures themselves so if it's not in the Bible protestants must have to come up with another name for it....don't you agree?

Answer 9

Seeing bibliothèque is library in french, coming from the root word biblios. I would have to say a collection of books.
