Notes
The Holy Bible is a sacred text in Christianity, divided into two main sections: the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT). The Old Testament consists of writings predating Jesus Christ, including historical, prophetic, and poetic books that form the foundation of Jewish scripture, such as Genesis, Psalms, and Isaiah. It outlines the creation of the world, the history of Israel, and God's covenant with His people. The New Testament, written after Christ's life, focuses on His teachings, death, and resurrection. It includes the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, letters (Epistles), and the Book of Revelation, which together convey the message of salvation and the spread of Christianity.
