The ancient people whom we know as the people of Israel of the Bible were convinced that God was intimately involved in their lives and in the destiny of their nation.  Inspired by holy men of God, and judged by prophets of God, this people recalled, retold, and recorded their experiences and aspirations.  

The resultant writings, deemed sacred by succeeding generations became the Hebrew Scriptures, and the Hebrew Scriptures became known as the Old Testament. The people who knew Jesus were convinced that in him the word of God became flesh—Emmanuel—God with us. Those who walked with Jesus and those who experienced the risen Jesus—Peter, John, Paul and other—recalled and recorded the events in his life and the transforming experiences that produced and nurtured the Christian Church.  As these writings were gathered, they became the New Testament.
