 * Understanding The Bible: **

What is the bible? The Bible is one of the main foundations of Christianity as a religion. It is a historical account written by numerous authors and is about what they witnessed during their individual lives. It is broken into two distinct sections; the Old Testament and the New Testament, in which the Old testament is about the world before Jesus’ birth and the New Testament is about the duration of Jesus’ life and after his death.

The Old Testament is made up of 39 smaller books, written by the likes of Moses, Joshua and Samuel. The New Testament however, is made up of 27 smaller books in which the main 4 books; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, known as the gospels, all tell similar stories from the perspective of each of these individual men. All of the smaller books in the bible are also divided into chapters and inside these chapters there are many verses which have their own number.
