Definition for The New TestamentA B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z New Testament: The Bible is a book of books, 66* altogether, that were written over a period of hundreds of years by many different authors; these 66 books are divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The New Testament contains 27 books and cover Jesus' life and the work of his followers. It starts with four the four Gospels (accounts of Jesus from various perspectives). Next comes Acts, a record of the formation and functioning of the early church. Then is a series of letters, call epistles, written by key leaders to various churches or people; these letters comprise the bulk of the books in the New Testament. The concluding book is Revelation.
