The Bible is made up of the New Testament, which talks about Jesus Christ and the early church, and the Old Testament, which talks about the world's creation and the Jewish people's history before Jesus.
While there is some difference between Protestant and Catholic traditions, 66 books in the Bible are accepted as God's Word by all main Christian groups.
