The New Testament contains writings of early Christian beliefs and the life of Jesus Christ, while the Old Testament consists of texts accepted by Judaism. The division reflects the different religious perspectives and historical contexts of the two collections of texts.
The first five books in the New Testament are called the Gospels. These are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which tell the story of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There are four New Testament books that are called the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these books describes the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ from a different perspective.
The laws of Moses were written in five books called the Torah, also known as the Pentateuch. These books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They are considered foundational texts in Judaism and are also an important part of the Christian Bible.
Catholics believe there are 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Most Protestant faiths claim there are only 39 inspired books in the Old Testament but agree that there are 27 in the New Testament. The extra seven books in the Catholic versions of the Bible are called the Deutero-canonicals and include the books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, and 1st and 2nd Maccabees. Some Protestant versions of the Bible also include these seven books but they are not considered to be inspired by God and are generally called the Apocryphal Books.
It is disputable whether the period was really as much as 400 years, since the Book of Daniel is believed to have been written during the second century BCE. However, this period is called the intertestamental period.Several of the deuterocanonical books, accepted as scripture by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, were also written during this period.
The intertestamental period should be studied if you are undertaking an advanced course of study in theology or Near Eastern history.
The Catholic Church calls these Deuterocanonical Books, because the form a 'second' canon. Another name for them is Apocryphal Books.
