Scripture
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” — 2 Timothy 3:16
The Bible is the written Word of God — 66 books in the Protestant canon (Catholic and Orthodox canons include additional Old Testament books) — authored by approximately 40 human writers over 1,500 years, yet unified by a single divine Author and a single redemptive storyline pointing to Jesus Christ.
