The Bible, composed of 45 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament, is understood as divinely inspired, with God inspiring human authors to convey what He desires us to know. This divine inspiration ensures that nothing in the Bible can lead us astray, as every word, even in its most minute details, can draw us closer to God.
