The Bible has two parts: the Old testament and the New testament. the Old testament is the part of the Bible that was written before Jesus's life. it contains the history and faith of the Israelites. The New testament is the part that was written after Jesus' life. It contains the history and the faith of those who followed Jesus.
The meaning of the word testament is covenant, which is an agreement or promise. The whole of the Bible is the story of God's covenants with the people he chooses throughout history. We can read in the Old testament about the covenant with Abraham and then Moses etc.. The Old testament shows how god keeps his promises with his people and how they try to keep their side of the promise.
