The Holy Bible
The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and is a compilation of sixty-six books. The great bible was written by about forty different authors. The exact number of authors is unknown because it is not clear who wrote some of the books.
The three original languages the Bible was written in were Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.
The Bible is divided into two main parts (the Old Testament and the New Testament).
The Gutenberg Bible was the first Bible ever printed. It was printed in the latin language in the year 1455, in Mainz Germany. It had no title pages or page numbers. There are still forty copies of the Gutenberg Bible around the world; one complete copy can be found in the U.S. Library of Congress.

(KJV) presents the Bible in a user friendly format. All the books are all arranged by alphabetical order so readers not familiar with the order of all the 66 books can find passages more expeditiously. A great Bible for all purposes and uses. Attractive cover resembles the leather-bound volumes we have grown to love and feel familiar around. The concept of presenting the Word in an order contrary to the long-standing Canon is done not to upset or contradict the established order of Scripture – but to lure people back to the Bible and create a new interest in the 21st Century. For too long people have been challenged in immediately finding verses due to the order of our 400 year-old Bible. Now, an answer, the ALPHA BIBLE. –Amazon.com
