BU Blog | Introduction to the Bible

Definition: Bible (bī-bəl) — the sacred scriptures of Christians comprising the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Since the early 1960s, astronomers, biologists, and engineers have been involved in SETI — a project with the goal of making contact with beings from another part of the universe.

Millions have been spent trying to get a message — or even just a peep — from some distant part of creation that would reveal the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos.
But here on earth, Christians believe we already have such a “message” from beyond creation and that it’s been with us for thousands of years. That message is found in the 66 books of the Holy Bible, through which the Creator has spoken to humanity.

So while scientists continue to aim their elaborate radio telescopes toward the far corners of galaxy looking for something extraordinary, we have the Word of God. No, it wasn’t written by little green men from Mars or some other planet. Instead, it was written by people like us who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to communicate powerful truths about life and how to find lasting joy and peace.

But who were the people whom God used to write the Bible? What does the Bible say about itself? How unified is the Bible’s message? How has the Bible impacted people throughout time? And why should be trust it?

These are some questions that we will now explore.
