Did Jesus exist? Other scholars have concluded that the Bible is the product of a purely human endeavor, that the identity of the authors is forever lost and that their work has been largely obliterated by centuries of translation and editing. Note that these Gospels did not come into the Bible as original and authoritative from the authors themselves, but rather from the influence of early church fathers, especially the most influential of them all: Irenaeus of Lyon who lived in the middle of the second century. Martin Luther called it "an epistle of straw" that did not belong in the Bible because it seemed to contradict Paul's teachings that salvation comes by faith as a "gift of God"-- not by good works. www.nobeliefs.com /exist.htm   (3912 words)

THE BIBLE AND HOMOSEXUALITY Interpret the Bible as having been written by authors who were intent on promoting their own religious and spiritual beliefs.

The Bible and History by Daniel J. Harrington, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine She explores how the biblical authors wrote their histories, the kind of history that they thought they were writing, how history was perceived in the ancient world, the authors’ aims and sources, their flexibility in composition and the roles of literary style and theology/ideology in their works. In The Bible in History: How the Texts Have Shaped the Times (Oxford Univ. Press, 389p, $35), David W. Kling, associate professor in the department of religious studies at the University of Miami, explores eight cases in which specific biblical texts have shaped Western history and history has shaped the interpretation of these biblical texts. Schniedewind’s basic thesis is that large parts of the Hebrew Bible took written form first under King Hezekiah of Judah in the late eighth century B.C. and then under King Josiah in the late seventh century. www.americamagazine.org /gettext.cfm?articleTypeID=6&textID=4068&issueID=523   (2059 words)

Amazon.ca: Books: The Bible For Dummies The authors of the Bible for Dummies treat the Bible with honesty and respect. The authors undoubtedly know their Bible, if only they could talk to the reader as one adult to another on a fascinating topic, and leave out such things as the lyrics to the Beverly Hillbillies. I have read the bible before and like many, have been confused by some of the meanings trying to be said. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0764552961   (1313 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Bible The Bible is plainly a literature, that is, an important collection of writings which were not composed at once and did not proceed from one hand, but rather were spread over a considerable period of time and are traceable to different authors of varying literary excellence. The inerrancy of the Bible follows as a consequence of this Divine authorship. As a literature, too, the Bible bears throughout the distinct impress of the circumstances of place and time, methods of composition, etc., in which its various parts came into existence, and of these circumstances careful account must be taken, in the interests of accurate scriptural interpretation. www.newadvent.org /cathen/02543a.htm   (1198 words)

American Bible Society: Sharing God's Word with the World The Bible is like a small library that contains many books written by many authors. Despite the loss of buildings, homes -- and sometimes the lives of loved ones -- many of these brave Christians cling to their faith with no Bible of their own.

Danish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first translation of the Bible in Danish was published in 1550. Danish is the official language of Denmark, one of two official languages of Greenland (the other is Greenlandic), and one of two official languages of the Faeroes (the other is Faeroese). Danish also holds official status and is a mandatory subject in school in the former Danish colonies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, that now enjoy limited autonomy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Danish_language   (2171 words)

GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - The Welsh Bible Welsh literature became increasingly under the domain of those authors who wished to bring Wales into line with what was happening in northern Europe, especially in matters of religion. The Welsh bishops entrusted the momentous task mainly to Salesbury, who had prepared the way with his earlier translation of the Prayer Book. The reverse took place, of course, and the Welsh language was given an unintended status and a place of honor by being used as a medium for the holy scriptures. www.britannia.com /wales/lit/lit9.html   (2171 words)

Babylon / Baghdad Occult Science 2 It can probably be taken as an attempt by the Bible's authors to explain, and legitimize, the countless tales of gods and heroic demigods which far pre-dated the Scriptures in the ancient Near East and around the world. The history inside the Bible, in Genesis, tells how the sons of the Gods, (The Anunnaki), seduced the daughters of humans on the Earth, and they produced a rare race of people known as the “Nephilim”. This was of course the birth of the Nephilim, sometimes called Naphalim or Naphidim, the "giants in the earth" of Genesis: "a monstrous race of giants with spiritual powers and earthly appetites". www.strayreality.com /Lanis_Strayreality/Babylonoccult2.htm   (1356 words)

The Holy Bible Though the Bible deals with a myriad of subjects, the chief subject is Jesus Christ, God's Son, and the salvation that is freely given through Him (Luke 24:44-47; John 7:39; Acts 10:43; 2 Tim.

Holy Bible The Holy Bible is a phenomenal account of history, comprised of 66 books, written over approximately 1600 years, by at least 40 distinct authors. Of course, as the Bible was carried from country to country, it was translated into languages that don’t necessarily mirror the original languages of Greek and Hebrew. The Bible now gives inspiration to hundreds of millions throughout the world — that’s because the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 1:20-21). www.allabouttruth.org /holy-bible.htm   (1356 words)

Bible Codes Bible Codes are models, types and codes in the Bible, which show evidence of divine integration throughout 66 separate books, written by 40 distinct authors over nearly 1,600 years. Bible Codes throughout the Bible are based on all sorts of mundane things, including names and genealogies. ENOCH means “teaching” or “commencement.” Later in the Bible, we find that Enoch was the first of four generations of preachers. www.allabouttruth.org /bible-codes.htm   (439 words)

The Satanic Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Satanic Bible, after the introductions by other authors, is divided into four primary sections: the "Book of Satan," the "Book of Lucifer," the "Book of Belial," and finally the "Book of Leviathan." Each section has its own distinct theme and is associated with an element (Fire, Air, Earth, and Water, respectively). The current High Priest of the Church of Satan, Peter H. Gilmore, wrote a new introduction that replaced Wolfe's and was included with The Satanic Bible starting in 2005. University Press released a hardcover edition of The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals, but these are long out of print. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Satanic_Bible   (728 words)

The English Bible A new translation of the Bible, therefore, or an essential modification of the existing version, is substantially a new book, a new Bible, another revelation; and the authors of such an enterprise are assuming no less a responsibility than that of disturbing, not the formulas only, but the faith of centuries. The position of the revisers and of their public was entirely different from that of Luther and the German people when the great Reformer undertook the task of giving his countrymen the Bible in their own tongue; and, accordingly, very different principles were properly adopted by the German and the English translators. The dialect of the English Bible is also the dialect of devotion and of religious instruction wherever the English language is spoken, and all denominations substantially agree in their sacred phraseology, with whatever difference in interpretation. www.glchurch.org /rarebooks/lectur28.html   (252 words)

Al Cuppit This is the comparison of manuscripts of the Bible in the original languages and versions, including quotations by ancient authors, to determine as nearly as possible the original wording. Although the allegorical method never died out in Catholicism and Protestantism, the new learning influenced the study of the Bible, and in the 18th century the techniques of classical studies began to be employed systematically. Literary criticism is the study of the document itself in comparison with other books--biblical and nonbiblical--to disclose the method, style, and purpose of the author; the author's identity; the written and oral sources used by the author; and the date and place of the writing. www.dccsa.com /greatjoy/alcuppit.htm   (3650 words)

Douai-Reims Bible --  Encyclopædia Britannica For Judaism and Christianity such a literature is found in the Bible—a term derived from the Greek meaning “book.” The Bible is a collection of many books by an unknown number of authors. His version, in Bishop Richard Challoner's third revised edition (1752), was the standard Bible for English Roman Catholics until the 20th century, and his phraseology influenced the Anglican translators of the Authorized, or King James, Version (1611).

Additional references about Bible (from Bible) --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia For Judaism and Christianity such a literature is found in the Bible—a term derived from the Greek meaning “book.” The Bible is a collection of many books by an unknown number of authors. The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament (qq.v.), with the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox versions of the Old Testament being slightly larger because of their acceptance of certain books and parts of books considered apocryphal by Protestants.

English Versions - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia The copies of the Bibles in the churches were of course burned; and--though individual translations were not specified--proclamations were issued against certain books and authors. The defects of the Great Bible were admitted, and were the not unnatural result of the haste with which-- notwithstanding its two revisions--it had been produced. The Bible and the New Testament were each reprinted once, and his Old Testament was adopted in a Bible of 1551. www.searchgodsword.org /enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T3101   (142 words)
