What is included in the Bible

The Bible is called Tanach in Hebrew, an acronym for Torah, Neviim (Prophets) and C'Tuvim (Writings). The Torah covers the period from the creation of the world to the death of Moses. The Prophets contains eight books--Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve Minor Prophets. The third part of the Bible, C'Tuvim--or Sacred Writings--contains Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nechemia and Chronicles. Scripture is another name for the Bible.
