Lesson One

Names, Languages, &

Writers of the Bible

"Before there was a Bible....." Does this surprise you? Had you ever thought about the fact

that the Bible as we know it was not in existence for hundreds of years after man's beginning.

According to the Biblical account, mankind had access to Adam for any information about God's

dealings with man for some 930 years (Gen. 5:5). Even though all mankind finally became so

wicked that God had to destroy them, yet there was one righteous man with which He was able to

replenish mankind on the earth〞NOAH! (Gen. 6:1-8). Did mankind become so wicked because

there was no Bible to help direct them? I am not in a position to say for sure, but we do know that

God held them accountable for their wickedness〞so; they must have had some way of knowing

what was expected of them. The Apostle Paul gives some indication of man's accountability even

without a Bible (Rom. 1:18-32; 2:12-16).

NAMING OF THE BIBLE

The word "Bible" is a transliteration of the Greek word "biblos," which came to mean

"writings." The term "Holy Bible" obviously emphasizes the "sacredness" of these writings.

This name has been given by men to these writings. But the Bible has terms that are used to

describe itself such as: "Scripture" (2 Tim. 3:16-17), "Word of God" (Heb. 4:12), "The Faith"

(Jude 3), and "The Truth" (John 17:17).

Quite a few terms are used in the Bible with reference to itself. Following are the terms used

to refer to the Old Testament or Covenant:

a) Scriptures 每 Matthew 21:42; Mark 14:49; Luke 24:32; John 5:39; Acts 18:24; Romans

15:4, etc.

b) Holy Scriptures 每 Romans 1:2; 2 Timothy 3:15

c) The Law 每 Deuteronomy 1:5; 4:8; 4:44; 17:18; 33:4; Joshua 1:7; Ezra 7:12, 21;

Matthew 5:17-18; Romans 3:20

d) The Law of Moses 每 Luke 24:44; John 1:17

e) The Law of God 每 Romans 7:22

f) The Law of the Lord 每 Psalm 1:2

g) The Law and the Prophets 每 Matthew 11:13; Luke 16:16; Romans 3:21

h) The Law of Sin and Death 每 Romans 7:23; 8:2

i) The Law of Righteousness 每 Romans 9:31

j) Schoolmaster 每 Galatians 3:24
