The New Testament begins with the Gospels: the narratives of the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The second part comprises the Acts of the Apostles, written by the evangelist Luke: this book describes the early history of the Christian Church.
The third part of the New Testament contains 21 letters of Saints Paul, James, Peter, John and Jude. The last part is the Book of Revelation or Apocalypse. In it, John describes his visions of the end of the world, including symbolic depictions of the Last Judgement and the heavenly Jerusalem.
