There are two "Testaments" in the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Testament is another word for "covenant". The books of the Old Testament cover the time period under God's Covenant with Abraham and the children of Israel. The books of the New Testament were written during the time period under God's New Covenant, which was given to mankind after the Lord Jesus Christ walked this earth, became man's substitutionary sacrifice when He was crucified, was buried and rose again.
