The New Testament, also called the New Covenant, details Christ's life and the teachings of the Early Church; it is thus a fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament and the most important text in the life of the Church. The New Testaments Testament consists of the [[Gospels]], which detail Christ's earthly life, [[Acts of the Apostles]], the [[Apostolos|Epistles]], and the [[Book of Revelation]]. It is generally acknowledged to have been written by numerous authors between A.D. 48 and 140.

The [[Acts of the Apostles]], also called the Book of Acts or just Acts, is a narrative of the Apostles' ministry after Christ's death and a sequel to the third [[Gospel of Luke|Gospel]]. [[Holy Tradition]], as well as style, phraseology, and other evidence, say that Acts and Luke have the same author, the [[Apostle Luke]]. Luke wrote down his narrative from the words of the [[Apostle Paul]], with whom he traveled travelled to Rome.

In ancient times there were dozens—perhaps hundreds—of Christian writings claiming Apostolic authorship, but which were ultimately rejects rejected by the [[Church Fathers]] in the 27-book New Testament canon. These works are considered "apocryphal", and are therefore referred to in singular as the New Testament Apocrypha. This The Apocrypha includes include a large amount of gnostic writings, spurious prophecy, fantasy, and in general a number of other [[heresy|heretical teachings]].
