The
Bible Book
Dear Reader:
There is no greater challenge than to write about the Bible, the most cherished book of human history. So much has already been written by phenomenal scholars, saintly preachers, and historical heroes that anything said today can only pale in comparison. Nevertheless, despite its popularity, proliferation, and perennial appeal, the Bible is often seen as intimidating. It is precisely because this book is so important that we wanted to do this project of helping acquaint the average person with this awesome work of many authors over many centuries. Considered the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and the rule of faith for many Christians, even nonbelievers can appreciate the sublime beauty of the Bible as a work of literature par excellence.
We do not presume to interpret every word nor every book of the Bible, but merely to present this sacred text as a collection of textsof books written over many periods of time, spanning many cultures, and impacting billions of people of the past, present, and future. Our goal is just to highlight the ways in which the Bible can be read, enjoyed, appreciated, interpreted, and applied. We do not claim it is the best or only way, but we hope you will benefit from our efforts.

The
BIBLE
BOOK
From Genesis to Revelation,
all you need to understand
the Old and New Testaments
Rev. John Trigilio Jr., Ph.D., Th.D., and
Rev. Kenneth Brighenti, Ph.D.
In memory of Father William Heidt, OSB,
who taught us Sacred Scripture.
Special thanks to our dear families, Elizabeth Trigilio (mother), Mark Trigilio (brother), Norma and Percy Brighenti (mother and father), and Priscilla Brighenti Colin (sister) whose love and faith made us cherish the written Word of God all the more. We are also grateful for the academic and spiritual assistance of our colleagues and friends at EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network); Mother Angelica and the Poor Clare Nuns; the priests, deacons, and seminarians of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy; and the prayers of all our parishioners. Finally, we thank our bishops, the Most Rev. Nicholas C. Dattilo, DD (Bishop of Harrisburg, PA) and the Most Rev. Paul Gregory Bootkoski, DD (Bishop of Metuchen, NJ), for their support in our ordained ministry.
The word bible is not anywhere in the Bible.
The Bible never identified the forbidden fruit eaten by Adam and Eve as being an apple.
The Ten Commandments are not numbered in the Bible.
The names of the Kings or Wise Men are never mentioned in the Bible.
The Bible never said that Saint Paul fell off a horse.
The Bible was originally written with no chapter or verse.
The Bible does not contain a list of which books belong in it.
The King James Version was not the first English translation of the Bible.
The Bible was originally written as separate books by different authors spanning many centuries.
The Bible is the oldest and most consistent bestselling book of all time with more than 20 million copies sold annually.
FOR CHRISTIANS , the Bible is considered the written Word of God. It is thought to be inspired by God, but written by human beings with divine assistance. Since there is no one human author, and it took centuries to write and then collect all the parts to form the one volume book we call the Holy Bible, it is important for any reader to appreciate the different type of literature contained inside; discern what the text actually says as originally written by the sacred (inspired) author; discover what the intended meaning and intended audience is for each book of the Bible; and hopefully make spiritual applications in ones daily life.
Dont let the size and age of the Bible intimidate you. It may be very old, but it was written for you, the average person. It may take a little time, effort, study, and prayer, but when you think of how long the Bible has been around, it is worth it to unravel its mysteries and beauties. You will find some parts more enjoyable to read than others, some easier or more difficult to understand, some very helpful, and others somewhat esoteric.
Just as there are several branches of Christianityfrom Protestant to Catholic to Eastern Orthodox, and all their subdivisionsthere is no one version, translation, or edition of the Bible that suits everybodys needs. There are also differences of theology among the various denominations and churches, which affect how the Bible is interpreted and applied. The goal of TheEverythingBible Book is not to exhaust or even examine every possible avenue, but to expose youthe readerto a broad overview and offer some helpful hints on how to digest and appreciate the vast source of wisdom found in this book. For the purposes of consistency, however, all biblical references in The EverythingBible Book are from the New International Version.
Even though you may have already read the Bible from cover to cover, each time you read it you will get something new from it. Despite the fact that you may already know how many of the stories end either by reading it beforehand or from seeing adaptations of it on television or in the movies, even the most familiar story has the potential of giving more insight, teaching, advice, and guidance. The Bible is a book that you can never know too well or too much.
