Both the Old and the New Testaments are the basis of Christianity. The Old Testament or old covenant set the laws that God wants everyone to obey. The New Testament is the new covenant. To keep this short, Jesus is the new covenant and with Him, Gentiles (non Jewish people) are also children of God and fall under His grace. Grace meaning that God knows that man sins and is not perfect. But with Jesus dieing on the cross, He was willing to suffer and forgive us for all of our sins. We no longer must make animal sacrifices through the priests because Jesus was the greatest sacrifice for us. Now with God's grace we can also be like Him and He will take us up into Heaven if we believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. We still must obey all of God's commandments of the Old Testament but now the new covenant is based on love not animal sacrifice. It is obeying God out of love and not because it is law. There is much more but this is the abridged version.

What part of the bible does Africa have?

The version of the Bible doesn't depend so much on the region; it depends more on the specific Christian denomination (or non-Christian religion) you are talking about. For more details, check the table "Books of the Bible" in the Wikipedia.Thus, for example, a Protestant in Africa would typically "have" one "part of the Bible" (i.e., accept certain books of the Bible as "canon" or official), while a Catholic in Africa would accept another part of the Bible as canon. Note that there is quite a bit of overlap, but there are some books of the Bible which are accepted by some groups, but which are not universally accepted.
