<big>'''Bible'''</big><br>
The '''Bible''' is the Holy Book used by [[Christians]] to live a life of faith and love. The Bible includes the Rabbinic Hebrew Scripture of the Old Testament and the New Testament, which relates the life and teachings of Jesus, the working of the [[Holy Spirit]] through the apostles in the book of Acts, the letters of the Apostle Paul and other disciples to the early church and the Book of Revelation. True believers confess the authority of the Bible as God's infallible word to humanity.

==Books of The Old Testament==
The Old Testament is comprised of '''39''' books. The term '''The Old Testament''' refers to all versions and translations of the Hebrew Bible and is the first major part of the Bible used by Christians. It is usually divided by Judaism into the categories of law: Torah; prophecy: Neviim; and writings: Kethuvim (history, poetry, wisdom books); as denoted by the acronym Tanakh.

The Protestant Old Testament is for the most part identical with the Jewish Tanakh. The differences between the Tanakh and the Protestant Old Testament are minor, dealing only with the arrangement and number of the books. For example, while the Tanakh considers Kings to be a unified text, the Protestant Old Testament divides it into two books. Similarly Ezra and Nehemiah are considered to be one book by the Tanakh.

All of these books were written before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, whose teaching and immediate disciples' deeds and teachings are the subject of the subsequent writings of Christian New Testament. The scriptures used by Jesus were according to Luke 24:44–49: "the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms ... the scriptures". According to most Bible scholars, the Old Testament was composed between the 5th century BC and the 2nd century BC, though parts of it, such as parts of the Torah, and the Song of Deborah (Judges 5), probably date back much earlier.
