The Bible or (the) Holy Scripture Holy Bible is the name given to the most important collection of religious texts in Judaism and Christianity. Believers consider it to be divinely inspired, or at least as an orienting standard, and is therefore continually appropriated in religious and cultural life. The Jewish and Christian Bibles have influenced each other in the course of their development; they arose parallel to one another, sometimes in isolation from one another.
The Bible of Judaism is the three-part Tanach, which consists of the Torah (“Instruction”, also Torah), the Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings). While the Torah was given to Moses at Sinai according to God's self-testimony and some of its texts were also written down by Moses himself, from a historical perspective the situation is different. Because only since the 9th or 8th century BC. In the 4th century BC, a written culture developed in Israel from a previous culture of oral tradition, and it was only in the Hellenistic and Roman times that larger parts of the population had the opportunity to read biblical texts privately and thereby learn them. Some early Jewish literature was included in the Jewish biblical canon, but other writings were not.
While this process was still underway, Christianity emerged and from its inception relied on the scriptures of Israel. Jesus of Nazareth interpreted his work in the light of these texts, and the first Christian community saw these writings as fulfilled by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity thus appropriated the holy writings of Israel and other early Jewish literature (as the Old Testament), but also created its own texts, some of which acquired binding significance and were ultimately added to the Old Testament as the New Testament.
The Christian Bible is the most widely printed and published written work in the world and translated into most languages.
