The New Testament The New Testament

The Christian Bible is a collection of sacred Christian texts. These various texts are called from ancient times only "books", as the word "bible" is the plural form of the Greek word "biblos".

It is distinguished from Tanakh which is the sacred text of Judaism and is probably referred to by the same "Bible" name, especially in the Hebrew Bible versions. His books are in the first part of the Christian Bible by the name of the "Old Testament".

The Christian Bible is divided into two parts namely the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains the writings written before Jesus Christ and the books of the New Testament were written after him.

Old Testament
The books of the Old Testament are essentially those of the Hebrew Bible, though the Christian denominations differ slightly in that. It was that at the time of Christianity, there was a difference in Judaism about the books considered sacred texts. The issue was removed from 80 AD when Jewish scholars in Jabneh (Jamnia) took a strong stand against the followers of Jesus.
By then Christians were already accustomed to the Greek version of the sacred text translated in the 2nd century BC, known as the Septuagint and had a number of books not in the original Hebrew or Aramaic, or written directly in the Greek language .
The Christian Bible thus contained 7 books (two of the Maccabees, Joshua bin Shira, Wisdom, Tobith, Judith and Baruch, as well as portions of Esther and Daniel) that were not accepted by the Jews.

The 7 books came to be rejected by Martin Luther in the 16th century, then by most Protestants, but are increasingly used by the Catholic and Orthodox Church in the name of Deuteronomy.

The New Testament
There are 27 books of the New Testament. The first four are the four Gospels that contain the life stories, actions and words of Jesus.
Others are the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of the Apostles, especially the Apostle Paul, and the Revelation of John.

Ratings and reviews

Best so far, All the features that i need are Available. But just for the last star is that i couldn't find an Option to exclude what is written in English. I call for the Option also with an alternative of maybe using one dominant colour of preference for the English written text. (Just an option please, since no one would wish the English text to be completely avoided as it might be needed atimes.,)

I love the fact that the English translation is right beneath each text. Kindly make a few adjustments like: 1. The back button to actually go just one step backwards, not to the main menu. 2. Can it come with and additional Audio option? Thank you so much for the great work, and God bless you!

The application is quite good, I would have given it five stars if it had both languages (English and Swahili), but in settings it only have a single language, that's Swahili. There is no English. So kindly, developers should work on that in later updates.
