New Testament
New Testament Second part of the
Bible, consisting of 27 books all originally written in Greek after ad 45 and concerning the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ. It begins with the three
Synoptic Gospels (
Matthew,
Mark, and
Luke), which present a common narrative of Christ's life and ministry, and a fourth gospel (
John), which is more of a theological meditation. The
Acts of the Apostles follows, which records the early development and spread of Christianity. Next come 21 letters (the
Epistles) addressed to specific early Church communities. The New Testament ends with the
Revelation of St John the Divine (otherwise known as the Apocalypse), which is an interpretation of history designed to demonstrate the sovereignty of God.
