The New Testament of the life of Jesus Christ. It also discusses the early Church and the significance of faith in Jesus. The New Testament was written in Greek, which was widely spoken in Jesus' time. But Jesus and his disciples spoke Aramaic.

The New Testament writers deliberately seek not to create a Bible Christian. The first church had a Bible, the Old Testament of Judaism. However, different views of the Christian faith during the AD 100 led the church to form the canon of the New Testament. He had the barrel of authority against the church views.The unacceptable religious also wanted to preserve the true story of Jesus' life and death.

Books of the New Testament: The New Testament contains 27 books organized into four sections - the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the letters, and the Apocalypse. The number of books and their order are the same in the Roman Catholic and Protestant versions.

The Gospels are composed of four books: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They appear as the first books in the New Testament, but they are not the first works in the canon. The word Gospel comes from the Old English word god out, which means good news.

The first church probably accepted the four Gospels as authentic, even if the perpetrators were unknown. Gradually, the church was associated with two of the Gospels of Christ's apostles, Matthew and John, and two companions of apostles, Mark and Luke. Traditionally, they are considered the authors of the Gospels.

The Gospels describe the life of Jesus: Matthew, Mark and Luke have similarities of detail and arrangement. They are called the synoptic gospels. The word synoptic comes from a Greek word that means to see together.

The Synoptic Gospels differ from the Gospel of John in several ways. In the synoptic gospels, for example, Jesus expresses his teachings mostly short words and short stories called parables. In John, he teaches through statements long.

While the Synoptic Gospels generally treat the same events, each of the four Gospels regarding Jesus differently. Matthew describes him as the legislature, which tells how the Christians and the church must act. Mark shows him as the Saviour who triumphs through suffering. Luke presents Jesus as the Savior of all peoples. John focuses on the divine nature of Jesus.

Many scholars believe that Mark was the more gospel, written just before or after the Romans captured Jerusalem in AD 70. Matthew and Luke were written later. The contents of these two Gospels indicate that both authors knew the Gospel of Mark, but not each other. John was written last, perhaps in 90 AD.

The Acts of the Apostles is a book. It continues the story of Luke and was written by the same author. Acts tells the expansion of the early church. The story begins in Jerusalem where the Apostles meet Jesus rose after the Dead. The book ends in Rome, where St. Paul, the first great missionary of the church, preaching to the Jews as a prisoner of Rome.

The letters represent 21 books: These books contain some of the earliest New Testament writings, although they appear in the barrel after the Gospels and Acts. The letters are also known as the Epistles, from a Greek word meaning to send.

The first 13 letters are called the letters of Paul, because most of them were written by St. Paul. The last 8 are called the letters of General. lead the early church.
