Christianity is a way of life and not a belief system. The Bible is the central religious text of Christianity. There are three major divisions to the Bible: the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Gospels. Each division contains various books and sections, which are arranged in a specific order.

The word Bible comes from the Greek word BIBLE, meaning "the books." The word is plural and means that there are more than one book in the Bible. The books were named this way because they were originally collected in that way. Each book is a collection of stories that were important to the history of Christianity. The Old Testament is the collection of stories from the Genesis to the Book of Revelation. The New Testament is the collection of stories from the gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul. The Gospels contain the story of Jesus, the central character in Christianity.
