The Jewish Bible is called 'Tanach'. The word Tanach is an acronym made up of the names of its three sections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings).
The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, however, the OT was altered by the Church to support the teachings of Christianity.
