The Old Testament of the Bible is also another story that is retold through the perspective of others. Used to influence…

that to the fact that there are Christians on every continent, then the wide spread influence of the Bible makes more sense. What is interesting is that the Old Testament of the Christian Bible includes Hebrew Scriptures that make up some of Jewish law (handout, Notes on Hebrew Scriptures), however with the addition of the New Testament to the Christian Bible, Christianity has spread to be the most popular religion of the modern world.

Whereas in the New Testament you are encouraged to ask questions then do what you have learned. This is a new view on things; you have a choice of how you live. The Sermon on the Mount is a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, and occupies chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the Gospel of Matthew, and one of the most beautiful stories of the New Testament.
