The Bible, sometimes called the Holy Bible, can refer to one of two closely related religious texts central to Judaism and Christianity, the Hebrew or Christian Bibles respectively. Modern day Judaism recognizes a single set of canonical books known as the Tanakh, also called Hebrew Bible, traditionally divided into three parts: the Torah ("teaching" or "law"), the Nevi'im ("prophets"), and the Ketuvim ("writings"). The Christian Bible is composed of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The canonical composition of the Old Testament is disputed by the different Christian denominations. Protestants hold all of the books of Hebrew Bible to be canonical and include them in what they call the Old Testament. Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox additionally consider the deuterocanonical books, a group of Jewish books, to be a canonical part of their Old Testament. The New Testament is comprised of the Gospels ("good news"), the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation. The term "bible" is sometimes used to refer to any central text of a religion, or a comprehensive guidebook on a particular subject.
