Excerpt from The Worker and His Bible

1. The Bible a Collection of Books. The word Bible is derived from the Greek. It is the plural form biblia of a noun biblion, which may be translated "Little Book." From the Greek language the word passed into the Latin, where biblia came to be regarded as a noun in the singular. As such it was early adopted into the language of the western Church, and it is so used in the languages of modern Europe. The use of the noun as a singular is responsible for much misapprehension, because the Bible can never be rightly appreciated unless it is borne in mind that it is not so much one book as a library consisting of many books, written by different authors, in different times and places, and representing different stages of religious and ethical development. There are sixty-six separate writings in the collection as found in the modern English translations. The Bible is divided into two great divisions called the Old Testament and the New Testament respectively. The designation Testament is somewhat misleading. It arose from an accidental mistranslation into Latin of a Greek word meaning covenant, which in turn goes back to a Hebrew word having the same meaning. Hence it would be far more accurate to speak of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant; and, indeed, one of the early Church fathers speaks of "the divine Scriptures, the so-called Old and New Covenants."
