The Bible is a compilation of texts that were originally separate documents (called
"books"), written first in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek over a long period of time and
then brought together to form the Tanakh (Old Testament for Christians) and then
the new Testament. Both wills for man the Christian Bible. In itself, the texts that
make up the Bible were written over approximately 1000 years (between 900 BC
and 900 BC). C. and 100 AD. C.). The oldest texts are found in the Book of Judges
("Song of Deborah") and in the so-called sources E (Elohist tradition) and J
(Yahwist tradition) of the Torah (called Pentateuch by Christians), which are dated
in the era of the two kingdoms (10th to 8th centuries BC. C.). The oldest complete
book, Hosea, is also from the same time. The Jewish people identify the Bible with
the Tanakh, for which the name as Old Testament is meaningless and is not
accepted because it does not accept the validity of the New Testament.
The canon of the Bible that we know today was created by the Catholic Church,
under the pontificate of Saint Damasus I, at the Synod of Rome in the year 382,
and this version is the one that Jerome of Stridon translated into Latin. This canon
consists of 73 books: 46 constitutive of the so-called Old Testament, including 7
books currently called Deuterocanonical (Tobit, Judith, First Book of Maccabees,
Second Book of Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach (Siracida), and Baruch) —which
have been contested by Jews and Protestants—and 27 of the New Testament. It
was confirmed at the Council of Hippo in the year 393, and ratified at the Third
Council of Carthage (in the year 397), and the IV Council of Carthage, in the year
419.
When Protestant reformers challenged it, the Catholic canon was again confirmed
by a dogmatic declaration, defined at the fourth session of the Council of Trent,
April 8, 1546. The doctrinal definitions of the Council of Trent were not recognized
or assumed by many Protestants, who emerged from the 16th century, nor by
different denominations linked to Protestantism that emerged from the 19th
century. The canon of Orthodox Christian Bibles is even broader than the Catholic
biblical canon, including Psalm 151, the Prayer of Manasseh, the Third Book of
Ezra, and the Third Book of Maccabees. In addition to these, the Fourth Book of
Ezra and the Fourth Book of Maccabees also appear as appendices in many
important versions and editions of the Orthodox Christian Bible.
The Old Testament mainly narrates the history of the Hebrews and the New
Testament the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, his message and the history of
the first Christians. The New Testament was written in the Koine Greek language.
It frequently quotes the Old Testament from the version of the Septuagint, a Greek
translation of the Old Testament made in Alexandria (Egypt) in the 3rd century BC.
