The New Testament

The New Testament is a collection of 27 books that forms the second major part of the Christian Bible, written primarily in the first century AD. It includes the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, the early Christian community's experiences, letters (epistles) from apostles like Paul, and prophetic writings like Revelation. Key themes include love, salvation, faith, and the establishment of a new covenant between God and humanity. It plays a central role in Christian theology and liturgy, influencing millions of believers and shaping Western culture and moral values.
