Because the vast majority of Christians believe that the Hebrew scriptures are just as valid as the New Testament scriptures. While parts of the Old Testament scriptures have been overridden by Jesus's death on the cross and the transformation of living under the law to now living under grace, most Christians still believe that the old testament is still part of God's word. In fact, much of the new testament relates back to the old testament, the book of Hebrews in particular. Many Christians look to the old testament to find prophesies fulfilled in the life of Christ especially in the book of Isiah.

For Jews, the Hebrew Bible is called the Tanakh. For Christians it is the Old Testament.
False. The Hebrew Scriptures form what Christians know as the Old Testament.
The Hebrew Bible (called "old testament" by Christians) is called Tanakh (×ª× ×´×š) in Hebrew, which is an acronym for the 3 section of the Bible: Torah, Prophets, and Writings.
Christians began to use books of the Old Testament as scripture before the Hebrew canon was formalised. By the fourth century, the Christian church began to concern itself about exactly what Old Testament books should be included, and Bishop Melito of Sardis went to Palestine to discover which Hebrew books belonged in the canon. His mission was to determine which books were considered sacred, not to determine in which order to place them. The Catholic Church and some Eastern churches include other books that are not in the Jewish canon.
