The New Testament (Injil)

The New Testament (Injil) is a collection of 27 books which forms the second, briefer section of the Christian Bible. Unlike the Old Testament (Tawrat and Zabur) which was written over many centuries, the New Testament was written over a span of 100 years, and most of it within a couple of decades. The books are not arranged in the order that they were written, but rather by subject matter and type. The New Testament reveals the message of God through Jesus, the spread of the church, and spiritual guidance for those following God on His path.
