The term "Christian Scriptures" refers to the sacred texts that form the foundation of the Christian faith. These scriptures include the Old Testament, which is shared with Judaism, and the New Testament, which contains the teachings of Jesus Christ and the writings of his early followers. Together, they guide Christians in their beliefs, practices, and moral values. The New Testament is particularly important as it includes the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—which tell the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Other writings, such as the letters of Paul and the book of Revelation, further explain Christian doctrine and encourage believers in their faith journey.
