Scripture is the sacred writings of Christianity contained in the Bible - books of either the Old Testament or the New Testament.
The New Testament was written in Greek while the majority of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, with some in Aramaic.
Discovered between 1947 and 1956 in caves near the Dead Sea, the earliest Old Testament texts can be found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and date from 200 BC to 70 AD. They cover large portions of the Old Testament, but it is unknown who was accountable for writing them.
The New Testament dates from 45 to 95 AD. Paul the Apostle was one of the authors claiming to have witnesses Biblical events.
The first printed Bible was produced in Latin by the German Johannes Gutenberg in 1456.
