WHAT IS THE BIBLE?
The Bible is the world’s best-selling book of all time! It has shaped the laws and politics
of many western countries and influenced language, music and art. Today it continues
to inspire many millions of Christians around the world. But what exactly is it?
The Bible is a remarkable collection of ancient writings Christians believe to be God’s revelation to people. Some people
say it’s actually like a library of books and letters all bound up in one. The Bible tells the story of God’s relationship with
the masterpiece of his creation – people. The Bible says that its words are ‘God-breathed’. Although exactly how God
‘breathed’ the words remains a mystery, most Christians agree that God inspired the writers as they recorded his words.
The Bible consists of two parts – the Old Testament (the time before Jesus)
and the New Testament (during and after Jesus’ life).
There are several different types of writings included in the Bible:
The Old Testament is made up of historical books, law, poetry, wisdom and prophetic books.
The New Testament is made up of four Gospels, one history book, 21 letters and one prophetic book.
The books and letters in the Bible were written by more than forty different people over a period of more than 1,000
years. Some of the writers were kings, royal officials, poets and even a doctor, while some parts were written by poor
uneducated fishermen. There are also some parts of the Bible where scholars and historians are unsure of authorship.
The Bible is foundational to the Christian faith. It is through the Bible that people can learn more about God and
his plan to restore all people and the entire world to himself, by sending his son Jesus Christ to live on earth.
TYPES OF BIBLES
A long time ago, the only English Bible you could get was full of Shakespearean style language
with words like thee and thou and begat. Today you can buy Bibles in easy-to-understand
English. Have a read below to understand the differences of what’s available now.
Most of the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, with some small parts written in Aramaic (a kind of street
language during Jesus’ time). The original language of the New Testament was Greek. Because many of the world’s
people can’t read these languages, it needs to be translated. All translations lie somewhere on a spectrum between a
Word-for-Word and a Thought-for-Thought approach – in fact they all move up and down on the scale in different
places. Translations closer to the Word-for-Word end of the spectrum tend to reflect the grammar of the biblical
languages more closely, but as a result are often more difficult to understand. Thought-for-Thought translations attempt
to reflect the meaning behind larger sections of text in a way that makes the most sense for their intended readers.

FINDING THE RIGHT BIBLE FOR YOU
With so many versions, translations, and study Bibles to choose from, as well as Bibles coming
in every shape, size, and colour, it is not surprising that it can be hard to decide. If you’re
looking to buy a Bible but having trouble choosing the right one, you’re not alone.
Here are some tips to consider when choosing which Bible to buy:
• It can be a good idea to have a Bible in the same translation that your minister uses to teach and
preach from in church. That way you’ll find it easier to follow along during church services.
• Are you looking for a Word-for-Word or Thought-for-Thought translation? Decide what
you want and that will help narrow down the Bible versions to choose from.
• Consider your primary purpose for purchasing a Bible. Will you be taking this Bible to
church, or do you plan to use it at home as a part of your personal bible study or devotional
time? Are you looking to have a Bible you can take with you everywhere?
• What is your budget? Often the same Bible will come in different cover formats and text sizes, which
can change the price point considerably. Genuine leather will be the most expensive, next bonded
leather, Imitation leather then hardback, and paperback as your least expensive option.
What features do you want your Bible to have?
Study Bible This Bible type includes lots of study helps like book introductions, character
studies, notes, and more to help with understanding the scripture passage
Tabs Tabs make it easier to locate the books in your Bible.
Cross-references Cross-references are usually listed in the margin or a center
column and help to point to other relevant scriptures to help with your studies.
Concordance A concordance is an alphabetical index of words used
in the Bible with a list of Bible passages where that word appears.
Dictionary A condensed dictionary can be found in some Bibles. It is an
alphabetical list, explaining biblical terms, people, places, and more.
Journaling space Great if you like to write notes in your Bible or even decorate
it. These Bibles include extra-wide margins and lots of white space.
Large print/Giant Print A Bible with a larger font size!
Maps, charts, timelines These features will help you see where any given
event, person, or place fits in the overall biblical story.
Devotional Great at encouraging the reader to apply the Word in practical ways.

Tim Brown, Category
Buyer Bibles, Books
& Digital Media
I really like the Amplified, for the way it
helps me think about the meaning of the
words. Frequently the original Greek,
Hebrew & Aramaic words are very rich
with meaning, which is not always fully
expressed in translation to English. The
Amplified includes a significant number
of footnotes and references, and features
alternative renderings for many key words.
A great help in understanding the meaning
without having to be a language scholar.
For we walk by faith, not by sight
[living our lives in a manner consistent
with our confident belief in God’s
promises]. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (AMP)

Allison Davidson, Manna Mt. Roskill, RetailShop Manager
I love reading from a selection of versions. I especially like to read from one of the more mainstream such as NIV or NLT and then compare
the passage to say the Message. I have often found that the difference in a word or phrase brings the Word to life for me in a new
way.One of my favourite passages is the Prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. I love the emphasis on God’s love: the height, depth, length and
breadth of it – wow! And the final part where it talks of our God being The One who can do so much more than we can ask or imagine!

NEW KING JAMES VERSION (NKJV)
One-hundred-and-thirty respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for
seven years with the goal of updating the vocabulary and grammar of the King James Version, while
preserving the classic style of the 1611 version. The task of updating the English of the KJV involved
many changes in word order, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. One of the most significant features
of the NKJV was its removal of the second person pronouns “thou”, “thee”, “ye,” “thy,” and “thine.”
Verb forms were also modernised in the NKJV (for example, “speaks” rather than “speaketh”).

KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
In 1604, King James I of England authorised that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was
finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526).
The Authorized Version, or King James Version, is now known for its poetic flowing language and rhythm.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of
the mercies of God, I urge you to present
your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and

Do not be conformed to this age, but be
transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may discern what is the
good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Lorraine Clark, Manna Gore, Retail Shop Manager
I have started using the NLT Inspire version lately and I find the language is very similar to
the NIV. One thing I really like about the NLT is that it is a Creative Journaling Bible and
as I colour I am able to slow down, think about and let God prompt me. As a side note
I have a rule for myself that I won’t colour until I have read the corresponding verses.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life
of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so
easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our
faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)
