New Testament
Post-Messiah holy text
The New Testament is the second major division of the Christian Bible, comprising texts about Jesus Christ and the early church.
It includes the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, letters attributed to Paul and other apostles, and Revelation.
Christians regard it as scripture fulfilling and superseding the Old Testament: She read from the New Testament every morning.
