[net.religion] "Old" Testament

aron (02/06/83)

The term "Old" Testament is inherently offensive to Jews.  It implies
that the Jewish Bible is outmoded, that the Jewish people's Covenant with
God has been superseded by Christianity and the "New" Testament.  The
appropriate terms to use (in English) are the Jewish Bible and the
Christian Bible.
