Christian scriptures
The Good Book
Christian scriptures are the sacred texts of Christianity, comprising the Old Testament (shared with Judaism) and the New Testament.
The term usually refers to the Bible as a whole, though it may specifically indicate the New Testament writings about Jesus and the early church: the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation.
The Christian scriptures form the basis of the faith.
