By Amanda Baird


Christianity and Judaism are among the religions that have a collection of some religious texts in which they consider it as sacred. They call it as the Bible. It is shared in these religions, though some of its contents are not similar. Yet, there are facts about numerous Cambridge Bibles that every individual has to know.

It was first written 1600 years before by forty people. It was believed to be made during the years 1500 BC up to AD 100. This is typically one book, but it has 66 smaller books in it. There are separated into two groups such as the Old Testament that was written before Jesus Christ was even born while the New Testament will include the life of Jesus Christ up to the present.

It has no verses and chapters by the time it was written first. In facts, there were no spaces between each word in the early manuscripts of such. There are only five books that were not divided with verses and chapters. These five books were too short and were only divided with some verse divisions. During the year 1238, the chapters were then introduced and in 1551, there were more divisions that were added in it.

Different religions make use of various books as well. Yet, it all has the same thought in which the Word of God is being preached. Numerous people who have faith in it also has faith for God since He has greatly inspired people in these years. Some fulfilled prophecies were already claimed to have reached 3,200 verses. Still, the unfulfilled prophecies are in the range of around 3,100.
