What is the Tanakh? (A brief explanation.)

You may have run across the term "Tanakh" before or maybe this is the first time you've run into it, but in any case it's a term that every Christian should know. Not only might you run into it in commentaries or other study literature, but it's also an important term for understanding the Jewish perspective on the Bible.

Not all of us everyday Bible readers are aware of these things. Thanks for the quick lesson. It’s very helpful.

I'd like to see a video on the books that were considered for the bible but were left out for whatever reason

I do understand the confusion about it. I've seen people call it the OT, the Hebrew Bible and the Tanakh all within the same discussion. I've also seen people call the entire OT the Torah.

As for them, they take the Talmud as seriously as Christian's should be taking the New Testament which is an important detail.
