The Jewish Bible, or Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, is
not identical with the Christian Old Testament. The order of the books is
different in each; the tripartite divison of the Tanakh is lacking in the Old
Testament, in which the prophetic books come at the end, so as to lead up to the
birth of Jesus.
(Several years ago I downloaded an article, I
forgot by whomm as I have erased it on this computer, outlining the theological
and structural differences between the Jewish and Christian Bibles, and
suggesting, if my memory serves me right - which it often doesn't - the names
First and Second Testament.)
So, although Jewish and Christian scholars may be
talking about two similar colllections of books and the same
individual books, I feel it would be best to specify which Bible is being
referred to, especially when the order of books makes a difference.
