The New Testament can be roughly divided into three sections, the first being the Gospels, of which my favorite is The Gospel According to Mark, which starts out with a reflection, or recap, on the the origin of Earth, man, and God's relationships to man. The Gospels are first-hand accounts of the life and times of Jesus Christ. Many of the books of the testament consist of the various letters of Paul, whose work makes up roughly the second portion of the New Testament. Paul was a prolific writer who was concerned with defining Christianity and the legacy of Christ for the early generations of Christians who lived all over the ancient Western world. from Rome, to Corinth, to Philippi, to Galatia, to Ephesia, to Thessalonica. He brought a cogent message of hope and unity to the early Christian world. The doomsday prophecy book called Revelation makes up the final part of the New Testament and of the Bible itself. It's the book that gives us the common doom and gloom imagery and phrases popular in books, music and movies: 'the pale riders', 'the four horsement of the apocalypse', 'the whore of babylon', 'the number of the beast', etc.
