The word "Bible" had its origins in the Greek word ''biblos'', meaning ''book''.  The ancient Phoenician seaport of [[Byblos]] was so-named as a result of the trade and manufacture of papyrus and writing-related material, and the growth of Christianity by the 2nd century, A.D. led to an outpouring of the Scriptures on papyrus scrolls, so much so that during this time the early Christians began calling them by the Latin term ''la Biblia'', "the Books". (Unger, pg 144)

The word "Bible" had its origins in an ancient Phoenician seaport called [[Byblos]], which was so-named as a result of the trade and manufacture of writing material based on the papyrus or byblos reed, which was used extensively for making scrolls and books.  The Greek word ''biblos'' was based upon this, and it came to be the word for ''book'' (a small book was termed ''biblion''), and by the 2nd century, A.D. Greek Christians had called the Scriptures ''la Biblia'' (''the books''), which was transferred to Latin by dropping the ''la''; the word made its way to Old French where the plural was dropped in favor of the singular, hence becoming the English word ''Bible''.
