-The Bible is composed of 66 books. These recognized inspired texts are known as the canon of Scripture. The Bible is divided into the [[Old Testament]] (39 books) and the [[New Testament]] (27 books). While Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions include additional writings (commonly referred to as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books), the Protestant canon consists only of those texts that were recognized by the Jewish community of the Old Testament era and the early Christian church.+The Bible is composed of 66 books.

 While Protestants affirm the 66 books of the canonical Scriptures as the inspired word of God, there are certain other ancient texts considered interesting but not inspired, commonly called the Apocrypha or Pseudepigrapha. They were produced primarily during the intertestamental period and although some of these texts may be of historical or literary interest, they are not viewed as authoritative for doctrine or practice. The Reformers rejected these books as Scripture on the grounds that they were not part of the Hebrew Bible and were not affirmed by Christ or His apostles. While Protestants affirm the 66 books of the canonical Scriptures as the inspired word of God, there are certain other ancient texts considered interesting but not inspired, commonly called the Apocrypha or Pseudepigrapha.

 The canon of Scripture (the books included in the Bible) did not arise arbitrarily but was recognized by the believing community under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament canon was largely settled by the time of Jesus, who affirmed the authority of the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings (<autott>luke_24:44|Luke 24:44</autott>). The canon of Scripture (the books included in the Bible) did not arise arbitrarily but was recognized by the believing community under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

-The Bible was originally written in Hebrew ([[Old Testament]]), Aramaic (a few sections, notably in [[Daniel]] and [[Ezra]]), and Koine Greek ([[New Testament]]). Early translations included the [[Septuagint]] (a Greek translation of the Old Testament) and the Latin [[Vulgate]] by Jerome.+The Bible was originally written in Hebrew (Old Testament), Aramaic (a few sections, notably in [[Daniel]] and [[Ezra]]), and Koine Greek (New Testament).

 With the Reformation in the 15th century AD, came a renewed emphasis on making the scriptures available to all people in their native languages. Reformers like Martin Luther and William Tyndale translated the Bible into vernacular (or ordinary and common) languages, often at great personal cost. Their work reflected the Protestant conviction that every believer should have direct access to God’s word. With the Reformation in the 15th century AD, came a renewed emphasis on making the scriptures available to all people in their native languages.
