<P> Attitudes towards the Bible also differ amongst Christian groups . Roman Catholics, high church Anglicans and Eastern Orthodox Christians stress the harmony and importance of the Bible and sacred tradition, while Protestant churches, including Evangelical Anglicans, focus on the idea of sola scriptura, or scripture alone . This concept arose during the Protestant Reformation, and many denominations today support the use of the Bible as the only source of Christian teaching . </P> <P> With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies, the Bible is widely considered to be the best - selling book of all time . It sells approximately 100 million copies annually, and has been a major influence on literature and history, especially in the West, where the Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed using movable type . </P> <P> The English word Bible is from the Latin biblia, from the same word in Medieval Latin and Late Latin and ultimately from Koinē Greek: τὰ βιβλία, translit . ta biblia "the books" (singular βιβλίον, biblion). </P> <P> Medieval Latin biblia is short for biblia sacra "holy book", while biblia in Greek and Late Latin is neuter plural (gen . bibliorum). It gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (biblia, gen . bibliae) in medieval Latin, and so the word was loaned as a singular into the vernaculars of Western Europe . Latin biblia sacra "holy books" translates Greek τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια tà biblía tà ágia, "the holy books". </P>
