What are the two main sections of the Bible?
There are two main sections that make up the bible. These are the Old Testament and the New Testament. These are both written by many different people and over thousands of years.
The Old Testament was created first and is the first part of the Christian Bible and was written over a large amount of time compared to the new testament. It is divided into different categories which include; law, history, poetry and prophecy. 5 of the books which include; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are the first part of the Jewish Bible which is the Torah. All of the Old Testament books were created and written before Jesus was born. Christians call it the Old Testament because they believed that there would be a new covenant between man and god after the son of God was born.
The New Testament is the second part in the Christian Bible and was written after the birth of Jesus. It was written in Greek about Jesus being a prophet and a Jewish teacher with a different perspective on God. It was created because they believed the new covenant had started between god and them. Unlike the Old Testament it was written over a smaller time span of the 1000 year period. It also has a total of 27 books in it which include four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which talk about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

Ancient Hebrew’s collected them and put them into sequence and scripture. Hardly any of the books were written by single writers but usually had help while writing.
