| 5 Unity Forty different authors writing over a period of 1,600 years penned the 66 books fo the Bible. Four hundred silent years separated the 39 books of the Old Testament from the 27 books of the New Testament. Yet, from Genesis to Revelations, they tell one unfolding story. Together they give constant answers to the most important questions we can ask: Why are we here? How can we come to terms with our fears? How can we get along? How can we rise above our circumstances and keep hope alive? How can we make peace with our Maker? The Bible's consistent answers to these questions show that the Scriptures are not many books, but one. |
