Outline form (abandoned)
Template: 'Word in Transliterated Form' '(Meaning / Definition)' [(Description in)] [(Reference)] (last two can skip preceding optional elements)
- Bible (The Authoritative Texts from God according to Those Who Believe in Jesus as the Son of Lord, Lord Himself and Saviour) (Bible intrinsically means it is from the Christians)
- TaNaKh (TePrWr, an Abbreviation for Teaching, Prophets and Writings)
- Torah (Teaching) (Contains the the Divine Teaching revealed by Moses) (intrinsically is a Yehudi Text)
- Nevi’im (Prophets) (Contains the Sayings of The Prophets) (intrinsically is a Yehudi Text)
At this point, I realized the outline form is hard to represent, so I decided to fill the table instead.
