O sagrado e o livro: o processo de construção da Bíblia Protestante

Abstract

The Bible is a collection of books and letters considered saint. They bring with them histories of peoples of ancient civilizations as well as the habits and traditions of all age and social group. The information was written by people from different places and social levels. Informational media used to record the information were fitting with the passage of time. From stone to wood, clay the parchment, so was the way that information traveled down to us. The Bible is divided into two groups: Old and New Testament. In the Old Testament we see the creation of the universe, the formation of social groups, habits of the people (a lot are preserved until today), disputes over power, the people's disobedience and divine action. The Old Testament is also composed poetic books, such as the Psalms, this is inserted poems directed to God, bearing the most varied feelings. In the New Testament, God becomes man through his son Jesus to redeem man from sin, and thus remake the lost communion before. After the atoning death of Christ, his followers begin to propagate messages of repentance, forgiveness and consequently salvation through Christ. Early Churches are formed, and the persecution of early Christians take. Letters are written by disciples of Christ and directed the church groups or just one person. The correspondents cover topics such as: encouragement (in view of the persecution), gratitude and exhortation. The New Testament closes with the prophetic Book of Revelation of John, which back eschatological themes.
