A SET OF 66 BOOKS WRITTEN FOR ABOUT 40 PEOPLE, DURING 1600 YEARS. THE OLD TESTAMENT BETWEEN 1500 AND 500 BC. THE NEW TESTAMENT BETWEEN 50 AND 95 AC.

AN ONLY BOOK. What does it make the Bible a book unlike any other, a permanent Best seller?          It is not the beauty of his stories, essays or poems, however beautiful they may be.          Not the genius of its authors, who, in most cases, didn´t possess literary vocation.          Its accuracy is not scientific because it is not a compendium of Science. But when it comes in Science, it does in perfection. The geological and other researches increasingly favor the creation according Genesis. The Bible is always ahead of science. 3200 years before Galileo, it shows the Earth suspended in space. (Job 26.7) and in round form. (Isaiah 40. 22).          Here are some answers to the unquestionable originality of the book of books.INSPIRATION. This is the very identity in which the writers present themselves all the time. Thus says the Lord. All of them maintain an absolute conviction that they are fulfilling a divine command.
AN ONLY PURPOSE. Despite the differences in personality, style, and period and time, all worked as if they were contemporaries and were sitting at a table. All in order to present the fall and redemption of mankind.AN ONLY SUBJECT. Everyone pursues the same theme, redemption in Christ. (Gên.3.15, 53.1a12 Isaiah, John 3:16, Romans 6:23, etc, etc ...)UP TO DATE. The Bible counsels are as valid for people today as for those who received them firsthand. The variations of times and cultures don´t invalidate the biblical principles, both for individuals and for nations.INFALLIBILITY. The biblical Proposals are the best possible for the good of human beings and nations. Everything depends on experience by faith. All those adhering to the biblical truths were successful, starting with their own authors. You never read any Bible writer apologizing for doubting anything he or she proclaimed.CONTRADICTIONS! Some "contradictions" are attributed to the Bible, but they are apparent contradictions. For example, when Joshua commanded the sun and moon, and not the system, stop for almost an entire day, he just used the common language to be understood at any time. Moreover, he had no scientific knowledge of our century, nor was it in his question. The important thing was not whether scientific or colloquial language. The most important is the historical fact witnessed that moment.MORE FAMOUS PASSAGESCreation of the World. Genesis 1 and 2 / Paradise Lost. Genesis 3 / Cain and Abel. Genesis 4.1a17 / Flood.
