The Bible (from the Greek τα βιβλία, ta biblía, 'the books') is the set of canonical books of Judaism and Christianity. The canonicity of each book varies depending on the adopted tradition. According to the Jewish and Christian religions, it transmits the word of God. The Bible has been translated into 2303 languages
The Bible is a collection of texts that were originally separate documents (called "books"), written first in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek for a very long period and then gathered 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 ("Canto de Débora") and in the so-called "E" (tradition elohísta) and "J" (yahvista tradition) of the Torah (called Pentateuch by Christians), which are dated at the time of the two kingdoms (10th to 8th centuries BC).
The oldest complete book, that of Hosea, is also from the same period. The Jewish people identify the Bible with the Tanach, in no way consenting to the term Old Testament and do not accept the validity of the so-called New Testament, recognizing as sacred only the Tanach.
The canon of the Bible that we know today was sanctioned by the Catholic Church, under the pontificate of San Damaso I, at the Synod of Rome in 382, and this version is the one that Jerónimo de Estridón translated into Latin. This canon consists of 73 books: 46 constitutive of the so-called Old Testament, including 7 books currently called Deuterocanónicos (Tobit, Judit, I Maccabees, II Maccabees, Wisdom, Ecclesiastical and Baruch) -which have been contested by Jews and Protestants- and 27 New Testament. It was confirmed in the Council of Hippo in the year 393, and ratified in the Councils III of Carthage, in the year 397, and IV of Carthage, in the year 419.
When Protestant reformers contested it, the Catholic canon was again confirmed by decree at the fourth session of the Council of Trent on April 8, 1546. None of these decisions was recognized or assumed by many Protestants, arising from the sixteenth century, nor by different denominations linked to Protestantism emerged from the nineteenth century. The canon of Orthodox Christian Bibles is even broader than the canon of Roman Catholic Bibles, and includes Psalm 151, Manasseh's Prayer, Book III of Ezra, and Book III of the Maccabees. In addition to these, Book IV of Ezra and Book IV of the Maccabees are also listed as appendices in many important versions and editions of the Orthodox Christian Bible.
The Old Testament narrates mainly 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. In him the Old Testament of the version of the Seventies is frequently mentioned, translation to the Greek of the Old Testament realized in Alexandria (Egypt) in III century; a. C.
