The New Testament
The New Testament is an anthology, a collection of Christian
works written in the Greek language of the first century, at different
times by various writers, who were early Jewish disciples of Jesus of
Nazareth. The New Testament consists of 27 books. The original texts were
written in the first and perhaps the second centuries of the Christian
Era, generally believed to be in Koine Greek, which was the common language
of the Eastern Mediterranean. All of the works which would eventually
be incorporated into the New Testament would seem to have been written
no later than around AD 150.
- four narratives of the life, teaching, and death of Jesus, called
"gospels";
- a narrative of the Apostles' ministries in the early church, called
the "Acts of the Apostles" and probably written by the same author as
the Gospel of Luke, which it continues;
- twenty-one letters, often called "epistles" in the biblical context,
written by various authors and consisting mostly of Christian counsel,
instruction, and conflict resolution; and
- an Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation
