The Bible is a sacred book widely accepted in the Christendom, the true word of God. Past and present perceptions have revealed a great deal of importance and significance in the history of mankind. In view of this, several people refer to the Bible as the Holy book, sacred book, Scripture, while some think it is a magical spell book or just one of the mythological books of tales from ancient history and tradition. On the contrary, it is often referred to as the book of the Christian for instruction and worship. In 1 Thessalonians 2:13 we read “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe”. As a result, this research explores a rethink on the examination of the Bible as the word of God.
