bibliology

Bibliology is the study of the nature, purpose, and authority of the Bible. It explores how the Bible was written, compiled, and transmitted over time. This field examines questions about its historical context, the reliability of its texts, and the different interpretations across various religious traditions. Bibliology helps us understand how religious communities view the scriptures' role in faith and practice, as well as their importance in literature, culture, and history. Essentially, it provides an academic framework for exploring the significance of the Bible in both religious and secular contexts.
