Gentile Bible
The Gentile Bible
The Gentile Bible is a Christian Bible for believers who enter the New Covenant without entering the covenant of Moses. See our article, The Two New Testaments, for details.
It contains seventeen books in eight sections and includes six different Gentile church traditions:
Gospels
- 1. John
- 2. Mark
- 3. Luke
History
- 4. Acts
Faith and Conduct
- 5. James
The Church of Freedom
- 6. Galatians
The Churches of Interdependence

- 8. 1 Thessalonians
- 9. 2 Thessalonians
The Churches of Household Order
- 10. 1 Corinthians
- 11. 2 Corinthians
- 12. Colossians
- 13. Ephesians
Advice on Reconciliation
- 14. Philemon
Advice on Fellowship
- 15. 1 John
- 16. 2 John
- 17. 3 John
John is placed first as the clearest introduction to Christ through the Word, life, light, truth, love, Spirit, and belief.
Mark and Luke preserve the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Acts records the beginning of the Gentile churches and the decision at Jerusalem that Gentile believers were not required to become Jews or submit to the Law of Moses. James follows Acts as the shared Jerusalem teaching on faith, conduct, mercy, and works.
The Pauline letters address the faith and life of Gentile churches. The letters of John provide instruction in truth, love, fellowship, obedience, and discernment.
In receiving these texts, the Church of Humans does not claim completeness, universality, or finality. It claims only sufficiency for faithful Christian life among the nations.
