The New Testament is the second major division of the Christian Bible with 27 separate works (called books) attributed to at least eight different writers. Four accounts of Jesus' life are at the core. A history of selected events in the early church (Acts) is followed by twenty letters to churches and individuals and one apocalypse. The letters deal mainly with the interpretation of God's acts of salvation in Jesus Christ. Matters of discipline, proper Christian behavior, and church polity also are included. Believers were first called Christians in Antioch because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ (Acts 11:26). Yes the New Testament is for, but not just for, Christians.
