The word "Bible" is derived directly from the Greek word "biblion", which simply means book. Early Christians called their collection of letters and gospels "the book". Only much later was "Bible" used in an exclusive way.

Doesn't seem all that off-base to me.
Never knew that. You guys are better than the education system. I learn something new everyday. LOL. Thanks for the info Chuck.
