Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible

The Bible (sometimes The Holy Bible, The Book, Good Book, Word of God, The Word, or Scripture), from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, "(the) books", is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book" (Gospel means " ...

The Torah, or "Teaching," is also known as the five books of Moses, thus Chumash or Pentateuch (Hebrew and Greek for "five," respectively).

Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible Society

A Bible Society is a non-profit organization (usually ecumenical Protestant in makeup) devoted to publishing and distributing the Bible for free or at subsidized low cost. Traditionally Bible society editions contain only the Protestant canon of Scripture, without any notes or commentary; but in recent decades this principle has been relaxed somewhat, and such editions typically have at least some notes on alternate translations of words, or variations in the different available manuscripts. Most or all Protestants have in common the ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible Adventures

Bible Adventures is an unlicensed Nintendo cartridge, released in 1991 by Wisdom Tree, and in 1995 for the Sega Genesis. It contains three different games: Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, and David and Goliath, all of which are based rather loosely on stories from the Tanakh. The gameplay of these games is somewhat reminiscent of Super Mario Brothers 2. In Noah's Ark, the player must round up the animals -- sometimes by knocking them out -- and carry them onto the Ark. Noah's health is recharged when ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Abomination Bible

This entry incorporates text from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897. Abomination in the Biblical sense of the word refers to: Every shepherd was "an abomination" unto the Egyptians (Genesis 46:34). This aversion to shepherds, such as the Hebrews, arose probably from the fact that Upper and Lower Egypt had formerly been held in oppressive subjection by the Hyksos (a tribe of nomad shepherds), who had only recently been expelled, and partly also perhaps from this other f ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible prophecy

Roughly one third of the Bible is widely regarded to contain passages which claim to foretell events and mandate conditions on future activities, focused primarily on the people and nations of the Middle East, and on the Messiah. This foretelling, or prophecy, is widely distributed within the King James Version for example, including the Torah and New Testament. Bible prophecy can be categorized into either declarations of actions God ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Wyclif's Bible

Wyclif's Bible is the name now given to a group of Bible translations into Middle English, that were made under the direction of, or at the instigation of, John Wycliffe. They appeared over a period from approximately 1380 to 1390. These Bible translations were the chief inspiration and chief cause of the Lollard movement, a pre-Reformation movement that rejected many of the distinctive teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Long thought to be the work of Wycliffe himself, it is now generally believed that the Wycliffite trans ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Great Bible

The Great Bible was the first authorised edition of the Holy Bible in English, authorised by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Sir Thomas Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General.

Bible: Encyclopedia - Douai Bible

The Douai Bible, also known as the Rheims-Douai Bible or Douay-Rheims Bible, is a Catholic translation of the Holy Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English. As such it is a translation of a translation of the Bible. Many highly-regarded translations of the Bible still use the Vulgate for consultation, especially in certain difficult Old Testament passages, but nearly all modern Bible versions go directly to the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Biblical texts for translation and not to a secondary version like the Vulgate. (Th ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible Students

The name Bible Students is used by many segments of what has been termed the Bible Student movement, all of whom follow the doctrinal views of Charles Taze Russell. Following Russell's death in 1916, the movement was divided by a primary schism, which was also divided by its own. These factors contributed to the adoption by the leadership of the Watchtower Society to adopt the new name of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1931. Because Bible Students do not use or rely upon a central religious organization, many independent congregations ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Welsh Bible

The first translation of the Bible into Welsh was the New Testament translation of William Salesbury in 1567, closely followed by William Morgan's translation of the whole Bible in 1588. Morgan soon began work on a revision (or a new translation) of his 1588 Bible, which contained a number of printing errors. After Morgan's death, Bishop Richard Parry and Dr John Davies continued the work with the aim of polishing the literary language, replacing forms considered too colloquial, and to bring the text into greater conformity with the A ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Inconsistencies in the Bible

Some religions believe that the Bible was inspired or received in singular events. Many historians who have analysed the Hebrew Bible and New Testament believe they were written over a long period of time. In addition, various religions assign varying degrees of inerrancy to these Scriptures. Because of this, inconsistencies alleged to be found within the Bible take on an importance in ecumenical and apologetic discussions. Those believing in Scriptural inerrancy sometimes refer to these issues as "difficulties"; some believe th ...

Bible: Encyclopedia - Bible citation

A Bible citation is usually referenced with the book name, chapter number and verse number. Sometimes, the name of the Bible translation is also included, usually in abbreviated form. An example of a common format is: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1, KJV). This tells the reader that the citation is from the first verse, of the first chapter of the book of Genesis, as translated in the King James Version. An older type of citation is in the form of (Gen. i. 1.), but this is falling into misuse. The book names are abbreviated u ...
