The Holy Bible in Swahili (Swahili Bible) Old and New Testaments

The Christian Bible is a collection of Christian scriptures. These various texts have long been referred to simply as "books", meaning "bible" which is a plural form of the Greek word "biblos".

It is distinguished by the Tanakh which is the sacred text of the Jewish religion and which is probably referred to by the same name as the "Bible", especially in the Hebrew Bible versions. His books are in the first part of the Christian Bible in the name of the "Old Testament".

The Christian Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains texts written before Jesus Christ and the books of the New Testament were written after him.

Old Testament
The books of the Old Testament are essentially the same as the Hebrew Bible, although the Christian denominations differ slightly in that. It is that at the time of the emergence of Christianity there were differences within Judaism regarding the books considered sacred scripture. The issue was settled from 80 AD when Jewish scholars in Jabneh (Jamnia) took a firm stand against Jesus' followers.
By that time, Christians were already well-acquainted with the Greek text of the Septuagint, known as the Septuagint, and had a number of books not preserved in the original Hebrew or Aramaic, or written directly in Greek .
Thus the Christian Bible contained 7 books (two of the Maccabees, Joshua bin Sira, Wisdom, Tobit, Judith and Baruch, as well as portions of Esther and Daniel) that were later rejected by the Jews.

These 7 books came to be rejected by Martin Luther in the 16th century, and later by many Protestants, but they are increasingly used by the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church in the name of Pentokanoni.

New Testament
There are 27 books of the New Testament. The first four are the four Gospels which tell the story of the life, deeds and words of Jesus.
Others are the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of the Apostles, especially the Apostle Paul, and the Revelation of John.
