Hello Everyone! My name is Matthew Meyer. I am a sophomore studying to become a pharmacist. I\u2019m from Greenwood Indiana, which is about thirty minutes south of campus. My primary reason for taking this course was for the Text and Ideas requirement but I was also curious about the Bible from other\u2019s prospectives.<\/p>\n
I would describe the Bible as a book of books used as the holy writings for Christianity. It contains a new and old testament. The books in the Bible are written from a range of people from a range of time periods. Im not sure who decided on the published contents but I have heard (this could be totally made up) that there are a lot of books that did not make it into the Bible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Using google to search \u201c What is a bible\u201d the first response I get is a dictionary definition of the bible. Following that in order of how they appear I get Wikipedia, biblica.com<\/a>, bethinking.org<\/a>, billygraham.org<\/a> and finally a section of recommended videos from YouTube. Regarding their credibility, in my personal opinion Wikipedia is the most credible out of all the results on the first page. Wikipedia is normally seen as very unreliable because anyone can edit pages. I find it to be reliable because almost everything is cited and I can follow where the author is getting their information. I also know that many moderators and administrators will contact an individual who edits a Wikipedia page and asks them more questions to see if their change is credible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Everyone!
