Statement

The Old Testament is not identical to the Jewish Bible in other respects either: the books come in another order, and most Christians read it in Greek, Latin or some other translation instead of Hebrew. Still, the chief objection Jews have to the name is that it defines the Hebrew Bible by reference to the New Testament, a work they do not regard as part of scripture.
