	Attitudes towards the Bible also vary amongst cults and isms. [[Roman Catholics]], [[Anglicanism\|Anglicans]] and [[Eastern Orthodox]] stress the harmony and importance of the Bible and [[sacred tradition]], while those named [[Protestantism\|Protestant]] by the Catholics focus on the idea of ''[[sola scriptura]]'', or scripture alone. Catholics try and teach that this concept arose during the [[Protestant Reformation]], but it can clearly be traced through the early church fathers and many writers before the reformation. True Christians today continue to support the use of the Bible as the only source of Christian teaching and reject dead religious tradition and forms that claim equality with the word of God.

		+	With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies, the Bible is widely considered to be the best selling book of all time. It has estimated annual sales of 100 million copies, and has been a major influence on literature and history, especially in the West where the [[Gutenberg Bible]] was the first mass-printed book. It was the first book ever printed using [[movable type]].

	== Etymology ==		== Etymology ==
-	~~[[Image:Family-bible.jpg\|thumb\|upright\|An American family Bible dating to 1859 A.D.]]~~	+	The English word ''Bible'' is from the Latin ''biblia'', from the same word in [[Medieval Latin]] and [[Late Latin]] and ultimately from [[Koine Greek]] τὰ βιβλία ''ta biblia'' "the books" (singular βιβλίον ''biblion'').
-	~~According to the [[Online Etymology Dictionary]], the~~ word ''~~bible~~''~~<sup>[]</sup>~~ is from Latin ''biblia'', ~~traced~~ from the same word ~~through~~ Medieval Latin and Late Latin~~, as used in~~ the ~~phrase~~ ''biblia sacra'' ("holy book" ~~- "In the Latin of the Middle Ages~~, ~~the~~ neuter plural ~~for Biblia~~ (gen. bibliorum) gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (biblia, gen. bibliae, ~~in which singular form~~ the word ~~has passed~~ into the ~~languages~~ of ~~the~~ Western ~~world~~.~~").<sup>[]</sup> This stemmed from the [[Greek language\|Greek]] term~~ ''τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια~~'' (~~''ta biblia ta hagia''), "the holy books"~~, which derived from ''βιβλίον'' (''biblion''), <sup>~~[]~~</sup>~~ "paper" or "scroll," the ordinary word for "[[book]]"~~, which was originally a~~ diminutive of ''βύβλος~~'' (~~''byblos'', "Egyptian papyrus"), possibly so called from the name of the [[Phoenicia]]n port [[Byblos]] from whence Egyptian [[papyrus]] was exported to Greece.	+
		+	[[Medieval Latin]] ''biblia'' is short for ''biblia sacra'' "holy book", while ''biblia'' in Greek and Late Latin is neuter plural (gen. ''bibliorum''). It gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (''biblia,'' gen. ''bibliae'') in medieval Latin, and so the word was loaned as a singular into the vernaculars of Western Europe.
		+
		+	Latin ''biblia sacra'' "holy books" translates Greek τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια ''ta biblia ta hagia'', "the holy books".
		+
		+	The word [[βιβλίον]] itself had the literal meaning of "paper" or "scroll" and came to be used as the ordinary word for "[[book]]".
		+
		+	It is the diminutive of βύβλος ''byblos'', "Egyptian papyrus", possibly so called from the name of the [[Phoenicia]]n sea port [[Byblos]] (also known as Gebal) from whence Egyptian [[papyrus]] was exported to Greece.
		+
		+	The Greek ''ta biblia'' (lit. "little papyrus books") was "an expression [[Hellenistic Jews]] used to describe their sacred books (the [[Septuagint]]) Christian use of the term can be traced to c. 223 CE. [[Chrysostom]] appears to be the first writer (in his ''Homilies on Matthew'', delivered between 386 and 388) to use the Greek phrase ''ta biblia'' ("the books") to describe both the Old and New Testaments together.
		+
		+	==Development==
		+	The biblical texts are the result of a dialogue between God and the Israelites through the ages. They were produced over a period in which the living conditions of the writers – political, cultural, economic, and ecological – varied enormously.

-	~~Biblical scholar Mark Hamilton states that the Greek phrase ''Ta biblia'' ("the books")~~ was ~~"an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books several centuries before~~ the ~~time of~~ [[~~Jesus~~]],"<sup>[]</sup>[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Bible Dictionary.com etymology of the word "Bible"].</ref> The Online Etymology Dictionary states, "The Christian scripture was referred to in [[Greek language\|Greek]] as ''Ta Biblia'' as early as c.223."	+	The Bible was later translated into about 500 languages by the year [[500 AD]].
