Talk:Kolbrin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This brief stub only touches on a few issues, perhaps a full article can address these and others with more detail. For example, the question of the term "bible" being used.
When capitalized, the word "Bible" refers to the canonical collections of sacred writings of Judaism and Christianity.[1] where as the Kolbrin clearly falls into the category of Modern pseudepigrapha. However, Biblical scholar Mark Hamilton states that the Greek phrase ta biblia ("the books") was "an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books several centuries before the time of Jesus,"[2] and would have referred to the Septuagint.[3] The Online Etymology Dictionary states, "The Christian scripture was referred to in Greek as Ta Biblia as early as c.223."
The word bible[4] is from Anglo-Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin, as used in the phrase biblia sacra ("holy books"). This then stemmed from the term (Greek: τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια ta biblia ta hagia, "the holy books"), which derived from biblion ("paper" or "scroll,” the ordinary word for "book"), which was originally a diminutive of byblos ("Egyptian papyrus"), possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece. This is significant because the first six books of the Kolbrin Bible are also known as The Egyption Texts of the Bronzebook dating back 3600 years. According to the publisher the books were first penned in Hieratic after the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt (ca 1500 BCE) in a 21-volume work called The Great Book.
For now, my goal is to just to keep a brief stub on-line in hopes that it will grow in accord with the Wikipedia guidlines. What appear on-line now is an abridged version of the above.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Two different versions of the Kolbrin exist:
1) Culdian Trust - http://www.culdiantrust.org - This is the official site of The Kolbrin (http://www.thekolbrin.com) You can also purchase the original Kolbrin from Goodeys Bookshop in New Zealand. It is quite expensive, but if you are a person who wants to do original research on such things, it is certainly worth the money.
2) The Kolbrin Bible: 21st Century Master Edition (Author: Marshall Masters). This is an edited verion when Mr. Masters has added his own citation schema (a system that does not reference page numbers, but rather book and verse). ISBN-10: 1-59772-005-4 -- ISBN-13: 978-1-59772-005-2 http://dx.doi.org/10.1572/kolbrin (http://kolbrin.com)

From what you say, it sounds like the Kolbrin Bible really is notable. But the article does not clearly explain what the Kolbrin Bible is, or what makes it important, and it doesn't have any references. The article seems to assume that the reader already is familiar with the topic; it needs enough content for a person who isn't familiar with it to understand it, too. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
