The Old Testament contains traditions, legends, myths and historical accounts of the Hebrew people. It describes creation and the origins of the Hebrew people according to those traditions. Some of the more recent books are somewhat reliable as history, but even these are open to doubt as to their historicity and objectivity, and so should be studied with caution. The Books of Daniel and Esther, set during and shortly after the Babylonian Exile, were actually written as novels during the second century BCE, although they have since been adopted as scripture.


The New Testament contains stories about the life and mission of Jesus, and of the early Church after the time of Jesus. It also contains a number of epistles attributed to various apostles. Scholars say that apart from 7 epistles actually written by the Apostle Paul, all the other New Testament epistles are pseudepigraphical. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that the whole of Acts of the Apostles, long thought of as a genuine history of the early Church, is a only work of propaganda.
