- What is the New Testament?
  
  According to Vatican II, "the word of God, which is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe (Rom. 1:16), is set forth and shows its power in a most excellent way in the writings of the New Testament."
  
  Moreover, the fullness of God's revelation in Christ Jesus "had not been manifested to other generations as it was now revealed to His holy Apostles and prophets in the Holy Spirit, so that they might preach the Gospel, stir up faith in Jesus, Christ and Lord, and gather together the Church."
