Old Testament
There are 17 Books in the Old Testament. The Old Testament is the first section of the Bible, covering the creation of Earth through Noah and the flood, Moses and more, finishing with the Jews being expelled to Babylon. The Bible’s Old Testament is very similar to the Hebrew Bible, which has origins in the ancient religion of Judaism.
Old Testament covers more than 1500 years, from approximately 2000 b.c. to 400 b.c.
New Testament
The New Testament has 27 books, written between about 50 and 100 AD, and falling naturally into two sections: the Gospels, which tell the story of Jesus (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John); and the Letters (or epistles) - written by various Christian leaders to provide guidance for the earliest church communities.
The New Testament concludes with the book of Revelation, which begins with a series of letters to seven churches in the area of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), but then offers a visionary presentation of the meaning of all things, from creation to the end of the world.
History Books
The historical books tell of the entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land after The Exodus, the leadership of the biblical judges, the establishment of the United Monarchy and its subsequent division into the northern Kingdom of Israel and southern Kingdom of Judah, and the Babylonian captivity.
Wisdom Books
There are three books of the Bible that are known as the Bible’s wisdom literature—Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. They reveal the collected wisdom of generations of godly people and invite us to consider the complexity and simplicity of living wisely.
Law Books
The content of the Law is spread among the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, and then reiterated and added to in Deuteronomy. This includes: The Ten Commandments. Moral laws – on murder, theft, honesty, adultery, etc.
Prophetic Books
The prophetic books are a division of the Christian Bible, grouping 18 books in the Old Testament. In terms of the Tanakh, it includes the Latter Prophets from the Nevi’im, with the addition of Lamentions (which in the Tanakh is one of the Five Megillot) and Daniel, both of which are included among the books of the Hebrew Ketuvim. Baruch is also regarded as one of the prophetic books for Christians which include it in their bible.
Gospels

The record of Christ’s life and teaching in the first four books of the New Testament.
Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of the Apostles, often referred to simply as Acts, or formally the Book of Acts, is the fifth book of the New Testament; it tells of the founding of the Christian Church and the spread of its message to the Roman Empire.
Epistles
Of the 27 books in the New Testament, 21 are epistles, or letters, many of which were written by Paul. The names of the epistles attributed to him are Romans; I and II Corinthians; Galatians; Ephesians; Philippians; Colossians; I and II Thessalonians; I and II Timothy; Titus; and Philemon.
Book of Revelation
Revelation is an apocalyptic prophecy with an epistolary introduction addressed to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. “Apocalypse” means the revealing of divine mysteries; John is to write down what is revealed (what he sees in his vision) and send it to the seven churches.

Myth
Myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that ostensibly relates actual events and that is especially associated with religious belief. It is distinguished from symbolic behaviour (cult, ritual) and symbolic places or objects (temples, icons).
Sacred Scripture
Sacred Scriptures are texts related to a religious tradition, that are deemed to be sacred by religious groups. They differ from literary texts by being a compilation or discussion of beliefs, mythologies, ritual practices, commands or laws, ethical conduct, spiritual aspirations and for creating or fostering a religious community.
Fundamentalist
A person who believes in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture in a religion.
Natural Law
The natural law, the Catholic Church teaches, is the basis for legitimate human or positive law. The moral law presupposes the rational order, established among creatures for their good and to serve their final end, by the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator.
Natural Law - Precepts
The natural law is comprised of those precepts of the eternal law that govern the behavior of beings possessing reason and free will. The first precept of the natural law, according to Aquinas, is the somewhat vacuous imperative to do good and avoid evil.
Environment
All religions respect the world around them and offer guidance on environmental issues. Christians believe that the Earth belongs to God and that humans are stewards in charge of its care.
Interdependance
The dependence of two or more people or things on each other.
CAFOD
CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development. We are an international development charity and the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. We stand beside people living in poverty – whatever their religion or culture.
Sustainability
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is not just environmental- ism. Embedded in most definitions of sustainability we also find concerns for social equity and economic development.
