The Bible is a collection of books considered sacred texts by Jews and Christians. Divided into two groups, the 39 books of the Old Testament address first the origin of the universe and then God’s interactions with ancient Israelites. The 27 books of the New Testament include biographies of Jesus, a history of early Christianity, and letters instructing first-century believers on how best to follow Jesus.
