The Bible is great, profound, mysterious, spiritual, and divine. After I was saved, I began to love the Bible
and to study it. The more I studied it, the more I realized that the Bible is exceedingly profound and that
no one can fully understand it.
At the end of the first century, after the departure of the apostles who wrote the New Testament, the
second generation of Christians began to study the New Testament. This was the beginning of the
history of the study of the New Testament. From that time through all the centuries, the study of the
New Testament has never ceased. Out of this study many spiritual writings have been produced. Among
mankind, no other school of thought has produced as many writings as Christianity. Christian writings
may be grouped into four main categories: the Bible, expositions of the Bible (which also portray the
history of the study of the Bible), church history, and biographies and autobiographies of the saints.
