As much as the belief exists that the Old Testament and the Hebrew scriptures have a lot of similarities, there are different versions as well, used by anyone who wishes to know more about them and what they comprise of. Both Christianity and Jews are monotheistic religions, having their roots in Abraham, with similar lines of teachings, faith, and traditions. The Hebrew Bible is divided into three parts, the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, and the Old Testament is divided into Pentateuch and history, poetry, and major and minor prophets.
