Passover
The Old Testament.

From a literary standpoint, yes - because it brought about the founding of a nation. From a historical standpoint, no - the Return from the Babylonian Exile was the most important saving event in the Old Testament, because it actually happened, whereas over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that the Exodus event never really happened as described in the Bible.

The book of Psalms is found in the Old Testament.
There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament (a total of 66 books in the Bible). There are 23,145 verses (KJV) in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses (KJV) in the New Testament. If all verses were equal, that would put the Old Testament at 74.4% and the New Testament at 25.6% of the entire Bible.
They tell part of God's redemptive story to bring humanity back into a right relationship with Him leading up to God the Father sending His Son, Jesus, into the world to bring about redemption from sin. We clearly see God's character in the Old Testament (His love, grace, holiness, sovereignty, power, saving nature, etc.) The Old Testament contains the Law and the Prophets, which Jesus later fulfilled (Matthew 5:17 & Luke 24:44). The Old Testament shows us our need of a Savior to pay for our sins, and speaks of the Savior who was to come. Jesus fulfills all of the prophecies of the Old Testament, lives a perfect life without sin, and then becomes the sacrifice for all humanity's sin, thus completing the work His Father gave Him to do.
