NEW TESTAMENT
The New Testament focuses more on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church.
The New Testament is the second major division of the Chrstian Bible.
It was written in Greek.
The word “gospel” (euangelion in Greek) means “good news”.
The New Testament gospels tell the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and proclaim the
good news of God’s victory over the powers of sin and death.
The four gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Although the four gospels all tell the story
of Jesus, each does so in a distinctive way, emphasizing particular aspects of Jesus’ identity and
mission.
