The Bible, derived from the Koine Greek term "tà biblía" meaning "the books," is a revered collection of texts central to Judaism and Christianity. It comprises scriptures written by various authors across different periods and locations, reflecting divine change or documenting the relationship between God and humanity. The Bible's canon is not uniform; it varies across religious traditions, with the Christian Old Testament overlapping with the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Septuagint. The Hebrew Bible, known in Judaism as the Tanakh, and the New Testament, a compilation of early Christian writings, form the core of these sacred texts. Discrepancies in the canon, particularly concerning the Apocrypha, highlight the diversity of biblical interpretations among Christian denominations. The translations of the Bible are presented chronologically, distinguishing between Jewish translations of the Tanakh and Christian translations of both the Old and New Testaments. Significant translations include the Septuagint, Wycliffe Bible, Tyndale Bible, King James Version, and more recent versions like the Berean Standard Bible. The Bible's structure is divided into the Old Testament, Deuterocanon/Apocrypha, and New Testament, each containing various books that contribute to the theological and historical narrative of these religious traditions.
