What is the Bible?

The Bible is a collection of books (Biblos) revealing God's Salvation plan for man. The Bible is a superb symphony of orchestrated interrelated themes, such as the Blessed Trinity, Creation, Praise, sin, the Ark, Sacrifice, Heaven, Hell, Judgement, Revelation, and Redemption.

These themes are initiated in the Old Testament, and developed and fulfilled in the New Testament. Bible themes are expressed in modes such as narratives, poetry, letters, biographies, chronicles, examples, sermons and parables.

Who determined which Books were to be included or excluded from the Bible?

The Catholic Church determined which books were to be included and excluded from Bible. To accept the Bible, while denying the early Church (with its Bishops, Bishop of Rome, Priests and Councils) that composed the Bible is an absurdity.

What was the basis for including or excluding certain books of the Bible?

Early Church Councils reviewed submitted books, and tested them against Church tradition. Books contradicting Catholic Church Tradition (for example denying the Divinity of Jesus) were excluded. The final canon (list) of Bible books was issued by the Council of Rome in 382 AD, and promulgated by Pope Damasus.

Why was the Bible written?

The Bible was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, so that we might learn how God loves, thinks and what he expects from us. The original New Testament, in particular, was written by Catholic men, married to the Church, under the Spirit's inspiration, so that we might learn about the God's plan for the Church and His people
