About the New Testament of The Bible.
Introduction.
The New Testament is a collection of writings in which different people set forth their convictions concerning the meaning and significance of the earthly life of Jesus of Nazareth.No one of these writings appeared until some years after Jesus' physical death. He left no written records concerning himself, and any information about him must be gleaned from what other people have written. By the end of the first century of the Christian era or thereabouts, several biographies of Jesus had been written, four of which are now part of the New Testament.
Origin.
The New Testament was not written all at once.The books that compose it appeared one after another in the space of fifty years,i.e. in the second half of the first century.Written in different and distant countries and addressed to particular Churches, they took some time to spread throughout the whole of Christendom, and a much longer time to become accepted. The unification of the canon was not accomplished wuthout much controversy (see CANON OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES). Still it can be said that from the third century,or perhaps earlier, the existence of all the books that today form our New Testament was everywhere known, although they were not all universally admitted,at least as certainly canonical.

Differences between Christian: Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox.
A Christian is a baptised follower of Jesus Christ. A church is a gathering of believers. Therefore, the Christian Church is not a building but a gathering of Christians. In the first few centuries of its history the Christian religion spread and grew in spite of Roman and Jewish persecution.
A schism is a split in the body of believers; it is a separation that leaves the members of the Church no longer united. For the first 1,000 years of the Church's history there were no major schisms. At ths time, all Christians were members of the universal Christian Church. The Greek word for universal is translated into English as the word"Catholic". The word "universal" in Latin is derived from "universus" meaning,combined into one. So the Catholic Churchis focussed on complete universal unity amongest all people in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
WASP White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
This article is about the abbreviation for a type of sacialization. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) is an informal, sometimes disparaging term for a group of high-status and influential White Americans of English Protestant ancestry. The term applies to a group believed to control disproportionate social, political, and financial power in the United States. It describes a group whose family wealth, education, status, and elite connections allow them a degree of opportunity held by few others.
Scholars agree that the group's influence has waned since the end of World War Ⅱ, with the growing influence of other ethnic groups in the United States. The term is also used in Canada and Australia for similar elites. The term is occasionally used by sociologists to include all Americans of North European ancestry regardless of their class or power. People rarely call themselves WASPs, except humorously. The acronym is typically used by non-WASPs.

Orpheus and Eurydice.
The ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice concerns the fateful love of Orpheus of Thrace, son of Apollo and the muse Calliope, for the beautiful Eurydice (from Eurudike, "she whose justice extends widely"). It may be a late addition to the Orpheus myths, as the latter cult-title suggests those atached to Persephone. It may have been derived from a legend in which Orpheus travels to Tartarus and charms the goddess Hecate.
