The '''Bible''', or the '''Holy Scriptures''', is the collection of texts sacred to [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]], and consists of two parts: the thirty-nine books of the Jewish faith known as the '''Tanakh''', or the [[Old Testament]]; and the twenty-seven books and letters of the [[New Testament]] of the Christian faith.  Originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the Bible has been translated in more than two thousand languages; in terms of sales and distribution the Bible is the most-widely distributed, largest-selling fictional book in history; the over-all influence and impact the Bible has had on literature, culture, and history is beyond calculation.

The bible is widely regarded as one of the best literary works of fiction ever written or published.  It is unfortunate so many people take things written in it so literally and actually believe them.
