The New Testament

This is the part that Christians need to pay attention to. Actually, a Christian should pay attention to the whole thing, but this is the part of the Bible written to us.

Matthew-John are the Gospels, four accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. Acts describes the growth of the Church in its first 30 years or so. Romans-Philemon are letters from Paul, an early convert and the greatest of Christian missionaries. Hebrews-Jude are known as the general or catholic -- meaning universal -- epistles, because they name no specific recipient. Revelation is the only prophetic book in the New Testament, and there's a lot of debate as to its meaning.

The two testaments go together;they make sense of and reinforce each other. And I believe these are true, too.
