Religion – Books of the Old and New Testaments The Bible contains many types of genres, themes, events and characters illustrating the seeds of Christianity in the Old Testament and the Old Testament's fulfillment by Jesus and the young Christian Church of the New Testament. Using the genres of epic and simple narratives, law, prophecy, wisdom, pastoral letters and apocalyptic expression, both Testaments show the struggle of ordinary people trying to understand God and build their relationships with Him. Beginning with the Old Testament, how their understanding of God grew from that of a tribal god to the universal, loving God. Exodus, Deuteronomy, Amos, Hosea and Proverbs show the Old Testament Jewish growth in understanding God, from a tribal god to the loving, universal God who wants steadfast love and adherence to His laws. The New Testament's Gospel According to Mark, Acts, Corinthians 1 and 2, and Revelation show the fruition of God's promises in Jesus, the early Church's establishment and spreads to the gentile world, and the exhortations to remain steadfast and courageous while awaiting Christ's second coming. Together, the Old and New Testaments recount the seeds and early blossoming of Christianity.
