The written record of God's revelation contained in the Old and New Testaments is known as the?

• A. Bible
• B. Communion of Saints
• C. Triduum
• D. Easter Season

Answer: (A)

The written record of God’s revelation found in both the Old and New Testaments is the Bible. The Bible is a collection of sacred writings believed to be inspired by God, written by many human authors over many centuries, and gathered into two main parts: the Old Testament, which contains the Hebrew Scriptures and describes God’s dealings with His people before Jesus; and the New Testament, which centers on Jesus’ life, teaching, death, and resurrection, and the early Christian community’s teachings. Together these books tell the story of God’s relationship with humanity and provide guidance for faith and life.

The other terms refer to different things: the Communion of Saints means the spiritual unity of all believers—living and dead. The Triduum is the three-day liturgical period at the end of Holy Week (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday). The Easter Season is the liturgical time celebrating the resurrection, beginning with Easter Sunday. None of these designate the written record of God’s revelation the way the Bible does.
