The Holy Bible is the principal scripture in the Christian faith. The Bible (from the Greek word ta biblia, for “the books,”) is a compilation of scripture in Judaism and the Christian faiths. It is the most widely read literature in the world.
The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains nearly all of the same writings as the Hebrew Bible; the New Testament is a collection of writings dating from after the life of Jesus. The New Testament includes the Gospels (the central message of Jesus Christ and the promise of salvation for the faithful,) the Acts of the Apostles (the stories of the few years after Jesus’s death,) the Epistles (details of the Christian faith,) and the book of Revelation (a vision for the end of time.)
