A few of the first five books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
In Hebrew, they're also known as the "Torah".
No. Quran has some accounts taken from the five books of the Bible.
Not all Old Testament books are wordy and lengthy. There are some Old Testament books that are short, sweet and to the point. Some short Old Testament books are: Obadiah, Nahum, Haggai, Nahum, and Jonah.
In the present format of the new testament there are four gospels> There are however many others which were excluded by the early church. The basis of why some are in and others out lacks documentation.
Most of the the first four books of the New Testament is about Jesus, so many of those verses are about Him. There are many verses in the Old Testament about His coming.
Here are some off the top of my head: # Genesis # Exodus # Leviticus # Deuteronomy # Judges # Songs of Solomon # Job # Esther # Ruth
Yes, in translation. However, there are some important differences. One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. The translations leave out all or most of the Hebrew Bible's accompanying oral tradition, its traditional musical chant (cantillation, which provides punctuation and emotion), and the fact that many verses teach us a number of things. Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach [and others] which are in the Catholic O.T.).
There are actually seven books in the Catholic bible that are traditionally called the "Wisdom books." They are: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Wisdom, and Sirach.
Traditionally, Christians use the whole old testament whereas Jews only use the first 5 books (called the Torah scrolls). Quite a lot of the Qu'ran draws on some old testament stories but changes it from the original, biblical version.
Paul wrote 13 or 14, books in the New Testament. Some believe that he wrote the book of Hebrews. Thus the possible 14. Hebrews has many stylistic similarities to Paul's other works. Moses, however, in his five Old Testament books, wrote more words than any other author.
Catholics believe there are 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Most Protestant faiths claim there are only 39 inspired books in the Old Testament but agree that there are 27 in the New Testament. The extra seven books in the Catholic versions of the Bible are called the Deutero-canonicals and include the books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, and 1st and 2nd Maccabees. Some Protestant versions of the Bible also include these seven books but they are not considered to be inspired by God and are generally called the Apocryphal Books.
