Features: The Bible is a collection of ancient records from countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa, covering politics, economics, culture, and folklore. For a long time, Western political systems, literary creations, and even customs have been influenced by it, regarded as the pillar of Western spiritual civilization. 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 Old and New Testaments include history, poetry, law, biographies, prophecies, philosophy, science, and inspirational articles. Its theme is the relationship between God and humanity. Throughout the Bible, God expresses His will by protecting humanity, commissioning them to holy offices, showing love, and making judgments. The Bible is an extremely important part of world heritage, having had a profound impact. Many stories from it, 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 informative collection of historical and religious stories, playing a crucial role in providing a comprehensive understanding of the Old and New Testaments, as well as in spreading ancient culture. These stories reflect the evolution of human social psychology and reveal humanity's desire and pursuit of truth, continually attracting artists and writers throughout the ages.
