What you need to know about THE BIBLE.

It is the sacred text of the Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The sacred text consists of two portions : the TANAKH, which is the original three-part of the sacred book known to Christians as the Old Testament, and the NEW TESTAMENT.
TANAKH, or Old Testament, consists of 24 BOOKS, divided into three parts : the Torah, the Nevi'im (or Prophets), and the Ketuvim (or writings). The majority of this part  of the sacred book was first written in Hebrew, and originated in Mesopotamia between the twelfth and second centuries BCE.
The Torah, which means "Instruction" or "Law," consists of Five Books : Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The Nevi'im, which means "Prophets," is an historical account of the Jewish history, including the stories of the Prophets important to Judaism. It consists of Eight Books : Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Twelve.
The Ketuvim consists of later "writings," some of which are attributed to King David, King Solomon, and the Prophet Jeremiah. There are Eleven Books : Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, and Chronicles.

In the Christian version, the TANAKH represents the OLD TESTAMENT. It is the first of the two main sections of the Bible. In the second par, the NEW TESTAMENT, the writings are almost exclusive to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.  Jesus makes reference to the stories of the Old Testament and to its Laws.
The Old Testament contains the same writings as the TANAKH, though it is ordered differently and merges some Books together, while dividing others.
The New Testament consists of 27 BOOKS, though some divisions within the body of Christianity have a disagreement on which Books should be included. The majority of the writings were written in Koine Greek, and was composed during the First Century CE.
The New Testament consists of Five main parts : the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles (the Early Church), the Letters of Paul (the Epistles), other Letters, and the Prophetic Book (the Revelation).
A sixth part, called the Apocrypha, consists of writings that were once valued, but are no longer considered to be a part of the New Testament given to the fact of disagreement between groups of fellow Christians who didn't want to include the Apocrypha in their cannon.
In Islam, the sacred writings of the Scripture is believed to have originated as revelation from GOD and has significant value. Muslims believe that the Sacred Writings has become so distorted over time that it no longer effectively conveys DIVINE REVELATIONS and is subject to misinterpretations.
