The New Testament is composed of 27 books of scriptures. It contains the life
               stories of Jesus Christ, from his birth to the time of his departure and ascent to heaven. They are
               divided into 5 categories: 1) the 4 canonical gospels, recorded by Saint Matthew, Saint Mark,
               Saint Luke and Saint John; 2) the “Acts of the Apostles,” narrative stories of the early church;
               3) The Pauline Epistles referring to letters of the Apostle Saint Paul that were sent to Christian
               communities in specific cities: Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Galatia and Thessalonica, etc; 4) General
               epistles of other Apostles that taught and gave forewarnings to Christian followers, and 5) the
               Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John, written by Saint John, the Apostle, regarding the
               disclosures by God on future happenings.
