The Holy Bible > 
1400 BC: The first written Word of God: The Ten Commandments delivered to Moses.
500 BC: Completion of All Original Hebrew Manuscripts which make up The 39 Books of the Old Testament.
200 BC: Completion of the Septuagint Greek Manuscripts which contain The 39 Old Testament Books AND 14 Apocrypha Books.
1st Century AD: Completion of All Original Greek Manuscripts which make up The 27 Books of the New Testament.
The Old Testament, the more graceful of the two, was written long before the appearane of Jesus and is more honest about the cruelty of God (Job being persecuted umimaginably just so God can show Satan how much people love him).
The New Testament is more simplistic in a sense, and it offers a much more legible doctrine of how to live. It has more of a real world feel to it, it does not have that old, misty feel to it that the Old Testament does. The first four books of the New Testament, or the "Gospel", lay out the life of Jesus Christ, and they all outline the same thing, but in subtly different ways (Luke does it with the most literary skill). This book has had an enormous influence on history, but it has also had a negative influence, through its unfortunate misuse as well.
