Újszövetség

Újszövetség, meaning "New Testament" in Hungarian, refers to the second major division of the Christian Bible. It is a collection of texts that Christians believe are the fulfillment of prophecies and promises found in the Old Testament. The Újszövetség is comprised of twenty-seven books, traditionally divided into four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, twenty-one Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation.

The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—narrate the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They provide different perspectives on these pivotal events, forming the foundation of Christian belief. The Acts of the Apostles describes the early spread of Christianity following Jesus' ascension, focusing on the ministry of the apostles, particularly Peter and Paul.

The Epistles are letters written by apostles and other early Christian leaders to various churches and individuals. These letters offer guidance on Christian doctrine, ethics, and practical living within the early Christian communities. Key authors include Paul, Peter, John, James, and Jude.

The Újszövetség concludes with the Book of Revelation, an apocalyptic text attributed to John the Apostle. It contains visions and prophecies concerning the end times, the ultimate triumph of good over evil, and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. The entire Újszövetség is considered divinely inspired scripture by most Christian denominations and forms the basis for Christian theology and practice.
