The Christian Bible consists of two sections: the Old Testament, which is based on the Hebrew Scriptures, and the New Testament, which describes the life of Jesus of Nazareth and contains his teachings. The New Testament of the Bible includes four narratives, known as Gospels, which Christians believe recount the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In addition, the New Testament includes other writings from early Christians about the beginning of Christianity and how followers of Christ should live their lives. Christianity has no sacred language. The Christian Bible has been translated into thousands of languages. In fact, the Christian Bible is the most published book in the world.
