1. What does the word ‘Bible’ mean? |
|
The word ‘Bible’ is derived from the Greek word Biblìa, which is a
neuter plural, which means ‘books’. The word Biblìa afterward passed into the
Latin language of the Church and became a feminine singular. It is said that
the first person who used the term Biblìa, referring to the Sacred Writings,
was John Crysostom (344-407 A. D.) one of the so called Church fathers. |
