The Bible is not one book, but a collection of 66. As well as the law of Moses, these books contain history. Beginning with Creation and the Flood they go on to tell the history of the Jewish people from the time of Abraham to Moses' death, several hundred years later, just as the Jews were about to enter the land of Israel.
More books of history follow.
The New Testament begins with four books, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which give four different biographies of Jesus Christ. They describe his ministry, death and resurrection. Matthew and Luke also give details of his birth. The next 21 books are letters which were written by the Apostles about Christ's teaching. Some of the letters were written to individuals, others were written to groups of believers.
