Agano Jipya

Agano Jipya ni sehemu ya pili ya Biblia ya Kikristo, ikifuata Agano la Kale: Agano Jipya limefichika katika lile la Kale, na Agano la Kale limedhihirika katika lile Jipya. 

Linakusanya vitabu ambavyo Wakristo wote wanaviheshimu kama vitakatifu na vilivyoandikwa baada ya ujio wa Yesu Kristo hadi mwisho wa wakati wa mitume wake. 

Vitabu vyake 27 vinaleta habari zake, za mitume wake na za mwanzo wa Kanisa lake.

Vinatakiwa kusomwa kama kilele cha ufunuo wa Mungu kwa binadamu kadiri ya Historia ya Wokovu. 

Jina lilitungwa na nabii Yeremia (Yer 31:30) alipotambua kwamba kwa kiasi fulani lile la mlima Sinai lilikuwa na dosari (Eb 8), lakini Mungu kwa uaminifu wake asingeweza kukubali likome tu.

Vitabu vya Agano Jipya ni kama ifuatavyo (Kwa mabano: kifupi cha kawaida kwa kutaja kitabu hiki).

 Vitabu vya kihistoria 
Injili nne zinasimulia habari za maisha na mafundisho ya Yesu na kutangaza hasa kifo na ufufuko wake. 
 Injili ya Matthayo (Mt.)
 Injili ya Marko (Mk.)
 Injili ya Luka (Lk.)
 Injili ya Yohane (Yn.)
Kati yake, zile tatu za kwanza zinafanana hata zikaitwa Injili Ndugu, kumbe ile ya Yohane ni ya pekee.

Historia ya mwanzo wa kanisa iko katika mwendelezo ya Injili ya Luka, jina lake
 Matendo ya Mitume (Mdo.)

 Nyaraka 

 Nyaraka za Paulo 
Kuna maandiko 13 kati ya nyaraka yanayomtaja Mtume Paulo kama mwandishi. Wataalamu wa leo hutofautiana kama kweli nyaraka hizi zote zimeandikwa na Paulo mwenyewe. Kwa jumla saba zimetambuliwa na karibu wataalamu wote kuwa ni maandiko yake. Kuhusu mengine kuna maswali kwa sababu mbalimbali (kwa mfano tofauti za lugha, mkazo tofauti ya mafundisho), na wataalamu wengine hudai ya kuwa labda zimeandikwa na wanafunzi wake au na mwandishi kwa niaba ya Paulo.

 Waraka kwa Waroma (Rum.)
 Waraka wa kwanza kwa Wakorinto (1Kor.)
 Waraka wa pili kwa Wakorinto (2.Kor.)
 Waraka kwa Wagalatia (Gal.)
 Waraka kwa Waefeso (Efe.)
 Waraka kwa Wafilipi (Flp.)
 Waraka kwa Wakolosai (Kol.)
 Waraka wa kwanza kwa Wathesalonike (1Thes.)

 Waraka wa kwanza kwa Timotheo (1Tim.)
 Waraka wa pili kwa Timotheo (2.Tim.)
 Waraka kwa Tito (Tit.)
 Waraka kwa Filemoni (Flm.)

 Waebrania 
 Waraka kwa Waebrania (Ebr.) una tabia ya pekee; tangu zamani wengine waliulihesabu kuwa waraka wa Paulo ingawa ndani yake jina lake halitajwi. Leo karibu wote wanasema si ya kwake.

 Nyaraka katoliki 
Jina "katoliki" halimaanisha madhehebu ya Kiroma, lakini maana asilia ya neno la Kigiriki "katoliki" ambayo inaweza kutafsiriwa pia "kwa watu wote", au "zilizokubaliwa na wote". 
 Waraka wa Yakobo (Yak.)
 Waraka wa kwanza wa Petro (1Pet.)
 Waraka wa pili wa Petro (2Pet.)
 Waraka wa kwanza wa Yohane (1Yoh.)
 Waraka wa pili wa Yohane (2.Yoh.)
 Waraka wa tatu wa Yohane (3Yoh.)
 Waraka wa Yuda (Yud.)

 Kitabu cha kinabii 
Kitabu cha mwisho kinafuata mtindo wa kiapokaliptiko, yaani kinatazama historia kwa jumla kadiri ya imani katika ushindi wa Yesu juu ya shetani na nguvu zote za uovu. Kinaitwa
 Ufunuo wa Yohane (Ufu.)
