Features: The Bible is the most widely published, distributed, read, and influential classic in the world. Over the past two thousand years, it has been translated into 2018 languages and has an extremely close connection with the morals, laws, folklore, as well as philosophy, religion, and art of Western countries. In the literary and artistic history of Western countries, many great writers and artists have used stories and legends from The Bible as subjects to create poetry, drama, novels, music, and paintings. Meanwhile, countless stories, anecdotes, and phrases have entered everyday language, becoming widely used allusions and proverbs. From 1450 BC to 100 AD, the completion of The Bible took 1550 years. It was written under the divine guidance of God, with over 25 authors, including prophets, priests, fishermen, kings, tax collectors, and doctors. The Bible is divided into two parts—the Old Testament and the New Testament—and contains 66 books. The Old Testament includes 39 books, while the New Testament includes 27 books. The Old Testament was originally the classic of Judaism. After Christianity split from Judaism, it inherited this classic and developed its own—the New Testament. Therefore, The Bible is also known as The Old and New Testaments. The Covenant includes history, poetry, law, biography, prophecy, philosophy, science, and motivational articles. Its theme is the relationship between God and humanity. Throughout the entire Bible, God expresses His will through protecting humanity, commissioning them to holy duties, showing love, and passing judgment. The Bible is an extremely important part of world heritage, having had a profound impact. Many of its stories, such as Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Samson the Strongman, Solomon's Judgment, the Birth of Jesus, and the Last Supper, have become widely known. The Bible Stories tells the history of the Jews and the life of Jesus, among other things. It is a richly comprehensive collection of historical and religious stories, holding great significance for understanding both the Old and New Testaments and spreading ancient culture. These stories reflect the evolution of human social psychology and reveal humanity's desire and pursuit of truth, continuously attracting artists and writers across generations.
