The New Testament comprises 27 books, from Matthew to Revelation, and is believed to have been written over a span of about 50 years, from A.D. 50 to 96.

It is organized into the following categories: The Four Gospels―accounts of the life and ministry of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]], Historical Book, [[~~Paul’s~~ Epistles|Pauline Epistles]], General Epistles, and Prophetic Book. Among the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they present the life of Jesus from a similar viewpoint. The Pauline Epistles include 14 letters traditionally attributed to the Apostle [[Paul]].
