The Bible is an important religious text that holds a central place in Judaism and Christianity.
The book itself contains a vast number of individual religious works compiled together, with the writings forming the basis of the Jewish and Christian religions and traditions.
The Bible itself differs between Jews and Christians in terms of content, with the Jewish Bible (the Tanach) only consisting of 24 books found in the Old Testament, while the Christian Bible also contains the works of the New Testament.
