THE BIBLE

Within only 20 years of Jesus' death, his followers had spread the Christian faith as far as Rome. Followers of his teachings were first called "Christians" at Antioch around 43 AD. 

Christians had also begun to write narratives of Jesus' life and the work of the apostles, as well as letters on matters of belief and practice. Together these writings constitute the Christian scriptures, called the "New Testament." As evidenced by its name, the New Testament is regarded as a successor to, although not a replacement of, the Hebrew scriptures (the "Old Testament").

The Holy Bible is a phenomenal account of history, comprised of 66 books, written over approximately 1600 years, by at least 40 distinct authors.
