Bible
Holy Scripture, or the Bible, is a collection of books written by the prophets and apostles, we believe, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The word “Bible” is Greek and means “books”.
The main theme of the Holy Scriptures is the salvation of mankind by the Messiah, the incarnate Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Old Testament speaks of salvation in the form of types and prophecies about the Messiah and the Kingdom of God. The New Testament sets out the very realization of our salvation through the incarnation, life and teaching of the God-man, sealed by His death on the Cross and Resurrection.
The Bible in three volumes consists of the Old Testament (2 volumes) and the New Testament with biblical subjects in illustrations of world and Russian painting.
