Old Testament and New Testament Bible study guides are important to consult while engaging in serious Biblical studies because the modern Bible translations are all derived from three main ancient languages. These languages are Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. Virtually every word in the Bible, its pronunciation, and its original meaning is contested by scholars engaged in finding the original meanings behind Biblical verses. It is very important to have a complete study guide which alerts students to phrases and terms in the Bible that are derived from these ancient languages.
