What is Biblical text for Christianity?

Answer 1

The Holy Bible (the Old and New Testaments) is regarded by Christians as scripture and inspired by God.

However, there is a huge plethora of other Christian writing from the early Church Fathers (Irenaeus, Clement etc) through to Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and modern day theologians like Alisdair McGrath.

Answer 2

The New Testament in the Holy Bible, is the accepted God-inspired Christian Text.

The Tew Testament is a fulfilment of the Revelationof God and God's Love that pervades throughout the Old Testament, coming to fruition in Jesus Christ.

I suggest that you start with one of the accounts of Christ's life in one of the Gospels. If you are a beginner, choose a very modern easy-to-read translation rather than an old one (with difficult language). The New International Version is excellent, or you could choose the 'Good News Bible' or 'The Message' as modern versions. Don't use the 'New World Translation, as this is the Jehovah's Witness Bible, and, despite what they will say, this translation has meaningsand text skewed and distorted to fit ion with their unorthodox beliefs.

Luke is probably the easiest to start with - a book written for non-Jews by a friend of the evangelist Paul. He wrote a second book, the Acts of the Apostles (the 5th book in the new Testament) telling the story of the early church. If you enjoyed reading Luke, then this is his sequel!

Next comes Mark - the shortest book about Jesus, and the first account to be written.

Next Read Matthew - a book written for the Jewish community by a Jew. Matthew's gospel is also easy to read, and contains many references to what prophets said about Jesus in the Old testament.

Finally John's Gospel is the most spiritual, and was written by Jesus' best friend John who calls himself, in his own book, 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' - not in a sexual way of course but in a truly caring way (the original word used is 'agape' meaning 'deep caring' rather than 'ers' meaning 'sexual love').

Nexy you can read some of the letters that male up the rest of the Old Testament. Most are written by Paul to different churches that he set up across the mediterranean area, and offer instruction guidance, encouragement, teaching and so on in the Christian faith.

Answer 3

The sacred text of Christianity is the Holy Bible. Christians believe that God told the men who put The Bible down on paper just exactly what to write, even the very words so that by studying the manuscripts today (In Greek and Hebrew) we can be assured of just what God wants us to know. The Bible today has many translations and most of them are fairly true to the oldest manuscripts known.
