	B'rit Chadashah -

	The New Covenant of Adonai


	The New Testament is called the B'rit Chadashah in Hebrew, meaning "New Covenant" (the word B'rit means "covenant" and Chadashah means "new"). Like the Tanakh, it can be divided into three main parts: Gospels/Acts (corresponding to Torah), Letters (corresponding to Ketuvim), and Revelation (corresponding to Nevi'im):


	B'rit Chadashah: Three Main Divisions

	Like the Tanakh, the B'rit Chadashah can be divided into three main parts: Gospels/Acts (corresponding to Torah), Letters (corresponding to Ketuvim), and Revelation (corresponding to Nevi'im):

Besorat HaGe'ulah [Gospels]		The four portraits of the Messiah of Israel as given by His messengers (Luke/Acts may be considered as a unit). Besorah means "good news" and Ge'ulah means "redemption."
Iggerot [Letters]		Eight "general" letters to Messianic Jewish communities and thirteen letters from Paul, the emissary to the Gentiles. The word Iggeret (pl. Iggerot) means "letter."
Hitgallut [Revelation]		The revelation of Yeshua the Messiah as given to His emissary Yochanan (John). The word Hitgallut means "revelation" or "unveiling" (sometimes the word Chazon ("vision") is used instead).
