Bible (Indonesian Bible). New Translation. The Old Testament and the New Testament

The Bible is the designation for the holy book of Christians. Bible although generally printed as one volume, is actually a collection of 66 books that are officially recognized by Christians as a book inspired by God. Sometimes used the term gospel to the Christian scriptures, but this is not true, because the so-called Gospels were only four of 66 books referred, namely the first four books of the New Testament passage.

The word "Bible" comes from Arabic, Al and the Book, which literally means "the book" or "book", in which the word Al is a typical clothing word in Arabic. In the Holy Scripture of Christianity itself, biblical term (derived from the Arabic) is not used, because the Bible is Christianity translated into Indonesian from the original languages, namely Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
