Actually, the Bible is older than the Church--than chr*stianity itself, even. The Hebrew Bible (the Prophets and Writings at least) were canonized by the 'Anshei HaKenesset HaGedolah (Men of the Great Assembly), while the Torah was literally written by G-d Himself before the Creation of the world and has never depended on being "canonized" by any human authority.

the Bible is older than the Church Of course the Old Testament is older, but the Christian Canon of it is set forth by the Church, while the New Testament, the tool that unlocks the Old Testament for us, is a direct product of the Church.
