| − | :::Careful! Under 'Name', Greek ''biblos'' did ''not'' mean 'book' . It meant 'papyrus'. You are correct, though, in saying that the ''direct'' source was Greek ''biblia'', 'books' - i.e. the various canonical books of which it was composed. --[[User:Petrus|Petrus]] 12:52, 19 March 2007 (EDT) | + | :::Careful!

You are correct, though, in saying that the ''direct'' source was Greek ''biblia'', 'books' - i.e. the various canonical books of which it was composed. Also, under 'History of the Bible', you would do well to consult the most recent research of on-the-spot archeologists such as Finkelstein and Silberman before being ''too'' sure about the authorship and dating of the earliest books of the Bible! Some caution is also advisable about suggesting that the author of Matthew (whether or not that was his real name -- he doesn't claim that it was) was a direct disciple of Jesus. --[[User:Petrus|Petrus]] 12:52, 19 March 2007 (EDT) |
