The Bible is the primary sacred scripture of both the Jewish and Christian religions. These scriptures are compilations of what were originally separate documents (called 'books') written over a long period of time. They were later compiled to form first the Jewish Bible ('Tanakh') and, with later additions, the Christian Bible. christians generally refer to the bible as 'the holy bible'.

The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), written prior to the birth of jesus christ, is divided into 3 sections, 'the Law' ('Torah'), 'the Prophets', and 'the Writings'. The translated, modified and re-ordered version of the Hebrew Bible is called 'the Old Testament' in the Christian Bible. The Christian Bible includes 'the Old Testament' plus 'the New Testament', which chronicles the doings of Jesus and the reaction to them. 'The New Testament' is divided into the four Gospels, History (Acts of the Apostles), the Letters to Christian churches by Paul and other apostles, and the Book of Revelation.

The absence of independent evidence confirming some of the biblical narratives has caused many people to question the accuracy or even the historicity of these accounts. For instance, many historians view the Biblical patriarchs, Moses, King David, and King Solomon as little more than legendary figures, though possibly based on historical events and persons. the bible has also been interpreted in many different ways. it has been used to defend pacifism, to defend war, to defend abortion, to fight against abortion, to defend that homosexuals are sick people, etcetera.you can read the bible online: click here.
