The term closely corresponds to contents of the Jewish [[Tanakh]] and the Protestant [[Old Testament]] (see also [[Judeo-Christian]]) and does not include the [[deuterocanonical]] portions of the [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] or the ''Anagignoskomena'' portions of the [[Eastern Orthodox]] Old Testaments.

It is widely used in academic writing and interfaith discussion in relatively neutral contexts meant to include dialogue amongst all religious traditions, but not widely in the inner discourse of the religions which use its text. | ||
