From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judaism's Bible, often referred to as the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, includes the books common to both the Christian and Jewish biblical canons.[2] Its most sacred part, the Torah, is traditionally considered by believers to be God's direct words and is the origin to much of the Jewish religious law.
The Christian Bible is often called the Holy Bible, Scriptures, or Word of God. It divides the books of the Bible into two parts; the Old Testament primarily sourced from the Tanakh (with some variations), and the New Testament containing books originally written primarily in Greek.[3] Some versions of the Christian Bible have a separate Apocrypha section for the books not considered part of the Christian biblical canon according to that version. Additional versions exist, such as the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Old Testament canons which contain books not found in the Tanakh, but that are found in the Greek Septuagint, the oldest of several ancient translations of the Hebrew Bible into Greek.
