Within the new testament there are the Gospels which tell the story of Jesus Christ, Messiah. Of the four gospels three of them are considered Synoptic because they were written in a manner that is similar enough that there is a stark contrast with the 4th gospel. When thinking of the New Testament, it is disconnected from Judaism even though Jesus and most of his disciples(?) would have been Jewish.
