The Old Testament documents the creation of the world by God, and the tribulations and errors of human beings, in particular His chosen people the [[Israelites]]. Following the history of the Jews from their earliest patriarchs to their enslavement, freedom, becoming a nation, period of the judges, ruled by kings, splitting into two nations, and eventual conquest. It continues until about 400 B.C. when God's chosen people have once again been allowed to return to the [[Holy Land]] and have come back to the worship of the Lord God. From the writing of the earliest five books, which is traditionally ascribed to [[Moses]], to the last, is believed to be a period of about 1,000 years. The New Testament doesn't pick up until 400 years later with the story of Jesus.
