INTRODUCTION
This research work is about “the Bible” is a Greek word and means books . It
consists of 73 that are divided into 46 from the Old Testament and 27 from the
New Testament.

The purpose of this essay is to conceptualize and describe aspects such as

Canonicity, Dei Verbum of the Dogmatic Constitution , literary genre , pastoral
reading and the time of exile.

Rafael Ortega conceptualized the word canonicity and explained the active and
passive meaning of the word Canon, Gustavo Vallejo in the chapter of Dei Verbum
clearly explains what the Holy Council exposes about the authentic doctrine on
divine revelation and its transmission, so that the entire world, hearing creates the
announcement of salvation and believing waits and waiting loves. The concept of
literary genre, its types and examples is discussed by Salvador Muñoz. Pastoral
reading is reading that is done in a group ; José Mizzotti describes a method for its
execution. The historical geographical environment of the time of exile is briefly
presented by the author AA.VV.

In summary, the Bible is the sacred book , which has been described for a people,
telling its story in which God has intervened with his words and works. Which are
inspired due to the presence of the holy spirit.

The presentation plan of the different points to be discussed is citing the references
in the text in a textual and contextual way with respect to the bibliographic sources
of consultation.

The Bible

1. Definition
The Bible (from the Latin biblia, and this from the Greek βιβλία biblía, "books"), is a
set of canonical books that in Judaism and Christianity are the product of divine
inspiration and are a reflection of the relationship between God and humans.

The Bible is the best-selling book in history and is often considered the most
influential book in the world. A May 2007 issue of Time magazine stated that "the
Bible has done more to construct literature, history, entertainment, and culture than
any other book ever written. Its influence on world history is unmatched, and shows
5 6 7
no signs of waning. 100 million copies of the Bible are sold every year and it
has been translated into at least 2,454 languages.

2.Etymology.

The word Bible comes, through the Latin biblĭa, from the Greek expression τὰ
βιβλία τὰ ἅγια (ta biblía ta hágia; 'the holy books'), coined for the first time in the
deuterocanonical 1 Maccabees 12:9, where βιβλία is the plural from βιβλίον
(biblion, ' papyrus ' or ' roll ' and, by extension, ' book '). It is believed that this name
was born as a diminutive of the name of the city of Byblos (Βύβλος, Býblos ), an
important papyrus market in ancient times.

However, since Byblos could only with difficulty be a loanword from the original
name of said city in Phoenician , Gubla , there is the possibility that it was the city
that received its Greek name from the term that designated the papyrus plant, and
not the other way around.

This expression was used by the Hellenized Hebrews (those who lived in Greek-
speaking cities) long before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth to refer to the Tanakh or
Old Testament . Many years later it began to be used by Christians to refer to the
set of books that make up the Old Testament, as well as the Gospels and the
apostolic letters (that is, the New Testament ). By then, it was already common to
use only the first phrase, τὰ βιβλία, as a title.
As a title, biblia sacra ('the sacred books') began to be used in Latin, without an
article, since this did not exist in Latin. However, as the Bible is a cultism in Latin, it
ended up going from being considered a neuter plural to a feminine singular ("the
sacred Bible"), already understanding the Bible as the proper name of the entire
group. Through Latin it was derived into the vast majority of modern languages.

3.History.

Hebrew Bible with targum in Aramaic, manuscript from the 11th century. Features
the text of Exodus 12:25-31 in Hebrew characters .

The Bible is a compilation of texts that were originally separate documents (called
"books"), written first in Hebrew , Aramaic and Greek over a long period of time
and then brought together to form the Tanakh ( Old Testament for Christians) and
then the new Testament . Both testaments form the Christian Bible. In itself, the
texts that make up the Bible were written over approximately 1000 years (between
900 BC and 100 AD ). The oldest texts are found in the Book of Judges ("Song of
Deborah ") and in the so-called sources E (Elohist tradition) and J (Yahwist
tradition) of the Torah (called Pentateuch by Christians), which are dated in the era
of the two kingdoms ( 10th to 8th centuries BC ). The oldest complete book, Hosea
, is also from the same time.

The Jewish people identify the Bible with the Tanakh , for which the name as Old
Testament is meaningless and is not accepted because it does not accept the
validity of the New Testament.

The canon of the Bible that we know today was created by the Catholic Church ,
under the pontificate of Saint Damasus I , at the Synod of Rome in the year 382,
and this version is the one that Jerome of Stridon translated into Latin. This canon
consists of 73 books: 46 constitutive of the so-called Old Testament, including 7
books currently called Deuterocanonical ( Tobit , Judith , First Book of Maccabees ,
Second Book of Maccabees , Wisdom , Sirach (Siracida) , and Baruch )—which
have been contested by Jews and Protestants—and 27 from the New Testament.
It was confirmed at the Council of Hippo in the year 393, and ratified at the Third
Council of Carthage (in the year 397), and the IV Council of Carthage, in the year
419.

When Protestant reformers challenged it, the Catholic canon was again confirmed
by a dogmatic declaration, defined at the fourth session of the Council of Trent ,
April 8, 1546. The doctrinal definitions of the Council of Trent were not recognized
or assumed by many Protestants, who emerged from the 16th century, nor by
different denominations linked to Protestantism that emerged from the 19th
century. The canon of Orthodox Christian Bibles is even broader than the Catholic
biblical canon , including Psalm 151 , the Prayer of Manasseh , the Third Book of
Ezra , and the Third Book of Maccabees . In addition to these, the Fourth Book of
Ezra and the Fourth Book of Maccabees also appear as appendices in many
important versions and editions of the Orthodox Christian Bible.

The Old Testament mainly narrates the history of the Hebrews and the New
Testament the life, death and resurrection of Jesus , his message and the history
of the first Christians. The New Testament was written in the Koine Greek
language. It frequently quotes the Old Testament from the version of the
Septuagint , a Greek translation of the Old Testament made in Alexandria (Egypt)
in the 3rd century BC. c.

For believers, the Bible is the word of God, of divine inspiration, although its writing
was carried out through chosen men who used their faculties as true authors. It is
an eminently spiritual work that believers interpret as God's way of revealing
himself and manifesting his will to save humanity, in addition to his character and
attributes.
For Christian believers, the Bible is the main source of faith and doctrine in Christ.
In the 16th century the different movements of the Protestant Reformation began to
experience a high level of wear and tear in philosophical discussions and to
separate from each other; To reduce this problem, the principle called “sola
scripture” was defined, which means that only the Bible can be considered a
source of Christian doctrine. For the Catholic Church , in addition to the Bible,
tradition, the teachings of the Fathers of the Church (disciples of the apostles ),
and the decisions emanating from the Councils are also doctrinal sources. This
divergence between Christians intensified after 1870, when Pope Pius IX
promulgated the constitution Pastor Aeternus , of the First Vatican Council , which
reaffirms the papal Primacy and proclaims the infallibility of the supreme pontiff in
matters of faith, morals and Christian doctrine ( dogma of papal infallibility ) when
he speaks ex cathedra (July 18, 1870) as the sole "successor of Peter " and,
consequently, "custodian and depositary of the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven"—.
While Protestant Christians reject this assertion and consider Jesus Christ as the
sole head of the church. For both parties, this great difference is no longer
considered only in philosophical or religious terms, but as divine designs embodied
and established in the Bible itself.

For Orthodox Jews, of course, the New Testament has no validity. Rabbinic
Judaism considers the Talmud as a source of doctrine, while the Karaites have
defended the Tanakh as the only source of faith since the 8th century .

3.1.Old Testament and New Testament .

The canon of the Christian Old Testament came into use in the Greek Septuagint ,
translations and original books, and their various lists of texts. In addition to the
Septuagint, Christianity later added various writings that would become the New
Testament . Little different lists of accepted works continued to develop in antiquity.
In the 4th century, several synods created lists of sacred writings that established
an Old Testament canon of between 46 and 54 different documents and a New
Testament canon of 20 to 27, the latter being the one used to this day; which was
finally defined at the Council of Hippo in the year 393. By the year 400, Jerome had
written a definitive edition of the Bible in Latin (see Vulgate ), the Canon of which,
due in part to the insistence of Pope Damasus , was made to coincide with
decisions of several of the Synods met with anteriority. With the benefit of hindsight
it can be said that these processes effectively established the New Testament
canon, although there are other examples of canonical lists in use after this time.
However, this definitive list of 27 books was not legitimized by any ecumenical
Council until the Council of Trent (1545-63).

During the Protestant Reformation , some canonical reformers proposed different

lists from those currently in use in the Church of Saint Peter in Rome. Although not
without debate the list of New Testament books would remain the same, however,
in the Old Testament some texts present in the Septuagint were eliminated from
the majority of the Protestant canons. Therefore, in a Catholic context these texts
are called deuterocanonical books, while in a Protestant context they are referred
to as apocryphal books , the label applies to all texts excluded from the biblical
canon that were in the Septuagint. It should also be noted that both Catholics and
Protestants describe some other books, such as the Book of Acts of Peter , as
apocryphal .

Therefore, today's Protestant Old Testament has 39 books—the number varies

from the number of books in the Tanakh (though not in content) because of a
different method of division. The order and name of the books also varies, while
the Catholic Church recognizes 46 books as part of the canonical Old Testament .
The book of Enoch is accepted into the Old Testament canon only by the Ethiopian
Orthodox Church . The term “Hebrew Scriptures” is only synonymous with the
Protestant (non-Catholic) Old Testament which contains the Hebrew Scriptures
and additional texts. As for the canon of the New Testament, there are 27 books in
the canon of the Catholic Church, accepted by the majority of the Reformation
Churches. The Syrian Church only accepts 22 books in its canon. Books such as
the First Book of Clement and the Second Book of Clement , the Book of the
Covenant , the Octateuch and others, have been the subject of disputes, and are
canonized by the Orthodox Apostolic Catholic Church .

4.Structure.

A book of the Bible is an established group of scriptures. For example, the Book of
Psalms ( Hebrew Tehillim or 'songs of praise') has 150 songs (151 in the
Septuagint version ), while the Epistle of Jude is a half-page letter.

The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is divided into three sections: the five books of Moses
(the Torah ), the books written by the Hebrew prophets ( the Prophets or Nevi'im )
and some books that do not fall into the previous two categories (the Scriptures). or
Ketuvim ); These are known as hagiographa or simply "the Scriptures."

The Jewish Bible was written predominantly in Hebrew, but has some small parts
that were written in Aramaic . In the Christian Bible, the Hebrew Bible is called the
Old Testament, to distinguish it from the New Testament, which is the part that
narrates the life of Jesus and his preaching, among other things.

The New Testament is divided into the four Gospels , history ( Acts of the
Apostles ), the letters (epistles) to Christian churches by Paul and other apostles,
and the Apocalypse .

Christian Bibles contain the entire Tanakh (or Old Testament), along with a group
of later Christian texts, known as the New Testament . Within Christianity there is
no complete agreement on the exact number of books that the Old Testament
should have (with equal recognition), that is, on its canon. Until the 16th century,
the Latin translation of Saint Jerome known as "the Vulgate " (from Vulgar Latin )
was maintained in the West, which incorporated both the Jewish canon and those
writings of the Greek Septuagint. With the Protestant Reformation , Martin Luther
questioned the need to keep the "apocryphal" books alongside those of the Jewish
canon and grouped them as an edifying appendix at the end of his German
translation of the Bible. The Catholic Church confirmed, however, the canon of the
Bible of the Seventy and the Vulgate at the Council of Trent (1545-1563), more
clearly recognizing the canonicity of some scriptures questioned by Luther, which
from that same century began to be be called deuterocanonical (concept
introduced by Sixtus of Siena ). The Eastern churches also recognize full
canonicity to the deuterocanonicals, also adding other books found in ancient
codices, such as Psalm 151, the Prayer of Manasseh , III and IV Esdras , and III
and IV Maccabees. The Coptic Church also accepts the Book of Enoch and the
Book of Jubilees in its canon. The New Testament refers to both the
deuterocanonical books and the Book of Enoch, and narrates the events of Christ's
passion according to the account established in the Book of Jubilees . As for the
rest of the books, there is no dispute and all Christian groups have the same books
in the New Testament of the Bible.

5.Biblical canons .

The word canon means 'rule' or 'measure', so the biblical canon is called the set of
books that make up the Bible according to a specific religious tradition, which thus
considers them "divinely inspired" and distinguishes them from other texts that are
not considered revealed. These differences between the different branches of
Christianity occur only for the Old Testament; For example, according to the
Catholic Church there are 46 books, and according to the majority of Protestant
churches there are 39. In relation to the New Testament, they all have the same
number of books.

The first canon is the Pentateuch , which is made up of the books of Genesis ,
Exodus , Leviticus , Numbers and Deuteronomy and contains the "Law of God",
which is the set of the 613 precepts of Judaism (Mitzvah) .
Within Judaism dispute arises over the correct canon. One religious group, the
Sadducees , maintains that only the Torah ('the Law') or Pentateuch ('five books')
makes up the canon of Scripture, while other groups also include the Nevi'im
(Prophets) and the Ketuvim ( the writings). After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70
AD. C. , the predominant Jewish group was the Pharisees , who do consider the
canon as consisting of the Law, the Prophets and the Writings. Thus, at the end of
the 1st century, Judaism established in Yamnia ( Yavne ) as the canon of its
sacred books those that met three requirements: that there be a copy of the book
in question that was known to have been written before the year 300 BC; C. (when
Hellenization reached Judea , with the subsequent cultural and religious problems,
and which can be read in books such as the Book of Maccabees or the Book of
Daniel ), that said copy was written in Hebrew or at least Aramaic (not Greek, the
invasive language and culture) and that had a message considered inspired or
directed to the people of God (which also meant that some books that met the two
previous characteristics had to leave the canon).

6.The Christian Bible.

Christian bibles are made up of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek writings, which have
been taken from the Greek Bible, called Septuagint , and the Hebrew-Aramaic
Tanakh , and then regrouped under the name of the Old Testament . To these has
been added a third series of Christian Greek writings grouped under the name of
the New Testament . Different Christian groups have debated at length about the
inclusion or exclusion of some of the books of both testaments, with the concepts
of apocrypha and deuterocanonical emerging to refer to some of these texts.

The current Jewish community reserves the expression "Christian Bible" to identify
only those books that have been added to the Hebrew-Aramaic Tanakh by late
Hellenizing Alexandrian Judaism, and then by Christianity, and avoids referring to
its Tanakh with the terms "Bible." » or «Old Testament». Various Christian
denominations incorporate other books into the canon of both Testaments.

6.1.The Old Testament.

The Old Testament is the series of Israelite sacred texts prior to Christ, and which
is accepted by all Christians as the first part of the Christian bibles. In general
terms, there is no general consensus among the different groups of Christians on
whether the canon of the Old Testament should correspond to that of the Greek
Bible, with deuterocanonicals, which is what the Orthodox and Catholic Christian
churches propose throughout their history, or that of the Hebrew Tanakh, which is
what current Jews, some Protestants, and other Christian groups emanating from
them propose. In total, 39 books are numbered in the Old Testament in the
Protestant version, 46 books in the version of the Catholic Church, and 51 books in
that of the Orthodox Church. However, the order, names and partitions of the Old
Testament books of Christian Bibles, throughout history, follow the Greek custom
and not the Hebrew one. And, likewise, it varies from Judaism in interpretation and
14
emphasis (See, for example, the Book of Isaiah , chapter 7, verse 14). ) Apart
from the books specific to the Greek text of the Bible, the canon of the Coptic
Church admits other books, such as the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees.

6.2.The New Testament .

Genoa Bible, one of the main translations of the Bible into English by the 16th
century Protestant movement. In the image, the Lord's Prayer in the Gospel of
Luke .

Main article: New Testament

The New Testament is a collection of 27 books, representative of 4 different Judeo-

Christian literary genres:

4 Gospels.
1 Book of Acts.

19 Epistles (or "letters"): 6 "Catholic" or apostolic epistles, and 13 Pauline epistles;

(a seventh apostolic epistle - the First Epistle of John -, and a fourteenth Pauline
epistle - the Epistle to the Hebrews -, really belong to the essayistic or scholarly
genre; that is, they are doctrinal treatises, so they represent a fifth genre of writings
of the New Testament). The leading figure in the epistles is Jesus of Nazareth ,
called Christ . Almost all Christians (with some exceptions, such as the Gnostics of
the first centuries) have been assuming the New Testament as a divinely inspired
sacred text. However, there is no universal unity in the New Testament canon.
There are 27 books in the canon of the Catholic Church, as in most Protestant
Churches. The Syrian Orthodox Christian Church only accepts 22 books in its
canon. Books such as the First Book of Clement and the Second Book of
Clement , the Book of the Covenant , the Octateuch , and others, have been the
subject of disputes, and are accepted by other Christian Churches.

7.Other books referenced in the Bible.

Within the biblical text, some books and epistles are mentioned of which there are
no currently reported copies or only fragments are preserved. They are generally
mentioned as primary references, previously written writings, or as a complement
to what was written within the context in which they are mentioned. In the case of
the Book of Enoch , it has been considered apocryphal by most religions (the
opposite being the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church) despite having been
referenced in the Bible and being in an intact state of content.

The following partial list shows some of the books that are not available today in
most Bible editions. These books are:

The book of the covenant or The book of the covenant, or The book of the alliance
15

The Book of Yahweh's Battles

The Book of Jasher (or Book of the Righteous)

A book kept before Yahweh

The Book of the Acts of Solomon

The book of the seer Samuel

The book of the prophet Nathan

The book of the seer Gad

Prophecies of Ahijah the Shilonite, and of the seer Iddo.

8.Preservation and integrity of the Bible

There are divided opinions regarding the claim that much of the Bible has survived
without major changes to the present day. Currently, the common belief in almost
all of Christianity assumes the infallibility and/or inerrancy of the biblical text,
assuming that the Bible is free of all error, being perfect as the word of God to
man. This concept is similar to the doctrine of sola scriptura , where the Bible is
considered to contain everything necessary for the salvation of man. The Nicene
Creed confesses the belief that the Holy Spirit "has spoken through the prophets."
This creed has been held by Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and most
Protestant denominations. However, as Alister E. notes McGrath, "the reformers
did not see the issue of inspiration as connected with the absolute reliability or true
inerrancy of the biblical texts." He says:

[...] the development of the ideas of 'biblical inerrancy' or 'inerrancy' within

Protestantism can be traced to the United States in the mid-19th century.
Defenders of the idea that the biblical scriptures are faithful and complete rely on
the number of identical copies that have been made of them since ancient times.
The Hebrew copyists of the Scriptures, called Masoretes , who copied the Hebrew
Scriptures between the 6th and 10th centuries used to count the letters to avoid
errors.

Those who disagree with these statements appeal to circumstances such as

translations from one language to another, copying of manuscripts , divergent
opinions in dogma and/or deliberate destruction and therefore maintain that the
Bible has not arrived as a complete volume. Finds such as the Dead Sea Scrolls
have shown that, to a large extent, this happened before the first century AD,
although the texts found there, and those known until then, appear to show minor
changes.

9.-Biblical archeology
Biblical archeology is the scientific study of historical remains and findings related
to places described in the Bible. It allows scientific knowledge of the peoples who
inhabited the biblical lands, their history, their culture, their identity and their
movements, which makes possible a specific location of the stories and confronting
them with their historicity.
Biblical archeology can illuminate knowledge about rulers, characters, battles and
Edward Robinson became considered the father of Eretz Israel archeology with the
publication of his book Biblical Investigations in Palestine published in 1841. During
the following decades, the preparation of the map of the Holy Land and the
identification of biblical sites progressed rapidly under the auspices of institutions .

10.-Biblical criticism

Biblical criticism in its most complete understanding is the examination of the

literary origins and historical values of the books that make up the Bible,
along with their present state.

Since the sacred scriptures have not come in a great variety of copies and
ancient versions, which show more or less divergences in the texts, biblical
 criticism, called textual or lower, aims to study these documents to arrive at
the purest text possible. of the sacred books.

The name “High Criticism” was first used by the German biblical scholar
Eichhorn, in the second edition of his “Einleitung” (Introduction) that appeared
in 1787. It is not, as some supposed, an arrogant designation, as if assuming
superior wisdom, but it has come to be used because this type of criticism
deals with the most universal aspects of the Bible, that is, the authorship,
date, composition and authority of complete books or large sections, to
distinguish it from the discussion of textual minutiae which is the field of low
or textual criticism (see the article TEXTUAL CRITICISM)

Taken in this limited sense, biblical criticism, in the light of modern

philological, historical and archaeological sciences and recently developed
methods, subjects to severe tests the traditionally accepted and traditional
positions on human authorship, the time and manner of the composition of
sacred books and makes distinctions about their historical value.

11.The Bible and the different languages

11.1.The Hebrew Bible .

The Hebrew Bible is a compilation of legendary, legal, poetic, prophetic,

philosophical and historical texts written almost entirely in Hebrew (with some
passages in a Semitic dialect variety called Aramaic, which from 600 BC. of C.
became the lingua franca of the Middle East). It is composed of thirty-nine books
originally divided by themes or authors — or, in the case of larger books, such as 1
and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Kings. Chronicles, depending on the
normal length of the parchment or papyrus rolls—. The Hebrew Bible is the
fundamental scripture of Judaism, the first part of the Christian canon and an
abundant source of allusions and ethical teachings of Islam transmitted through the
text of the Quran. Traditionally, the Hebrew Bible has been divided into three main
parts.

11.2, The Greek Bible.

The Greek Bible or Septuagint (LXX) is a collection of writings, most translated

from Hebrew and some originally written in Greek, which was composed over four
centuries, from III BC until the 1st AD

The name Septuagint refers to the number of scholars who, according to the
legendary Letter of Aristeas, translated the Jewish Torah, that is, the Pentateuch,
in the city of Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-246 BC).
For practical purposes, however, the Septuagint is understood to be the books that
Alfred Rahlfs collects in his Septuagint, Id est Vetus Testamentum graece iuxta
LXX interpreters (Stuttgart 1935) and which coincide with the books transmitted by
the main codices: Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrian. , between the 4th and 5th
centuries AD These codices preserve the first complete Christian bibles, which
then include the writings of the New Testament.

11.3.The Latin Bible

The oldest surviving complete Latin Bible will go on display at the British Library's
Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms exhibition (19 October 2018 – 19 February 2019). The
Codex Amiatinus or Codex Amiatinus returns to its home for the first time since it
was moved from England to Rome as a gift to the Pope 1,300 years ago.

Medicea Laurenziana Library, Florence

The history of this enormous volume can be traced thanks to two texts: The Life of
Ceolfrith, by an anonymous author, and History of the Abbots of Wearmouth and
Jarrow, written by the Venerable Bede.

According to Bede, Ceolfrith was a “man who worked hard at everything.” As abbot
of Jarrow and Wearmouth monasteries, he doubled the size of their libraries. He
also ordered the creation of three giant Bibles; one for each of the two monasteries
and another as a gift to the Pope.

11.4.Family Bible .
A family Bible is a Bible passed down by a family , with each successive
generation recording information about the family's history within it. Typically, this
information includes births , baptisms , confirmations , marriages , and deaths.
Other things, such as letters , newspaper clippings, and photographs , can also be
found in a family Bible. In the United Kingdom they were common during the
Victorian era and are also found in the United States , Australia and New Zealand .
They are often used as sources for genealogical research .

13.- Conclusion.

- In conclusion, The Bible is the ultimate religious and moral document for every
Christian, since in it the truth of God, his greatness and his love for humanity are
revealed to us; just as it teaches us how we should lead a life in the service of God
and our neighbor; and how to obtain the gift of eternal life and the way to achieve
his Kingdom.

-In the Bible there are many Literary Genres , that is, special ways of saying things
and narrating events. And it is very important to know in which Literary Genre a
passage of the Bible is written, to understand what the author wants to say and
means there.
For example: if the passage is written in the Epic genre (epic or epic is the
narration of very glorious events) it will use numbers and comparisons in
superlatives that are not intended to be understood mathematically: "The Israelites
were as numerous as the sands of the sea." Silver in Solomon's time was "as
abundant in Jerusalem as stones."
