Not to be picky but... aren't you talking about the New Testament?

The Old Testament was written many years before.

When people speak of the Bible, does that mean both the New and Old Testaments?
Parts of the old testament were written, before. But Hebrew died as a language hundreds of years before jesus ever came around. So anything in that time frame most likely would not have been written in hebrew, either, as it'd still have the same circumstances (Romans) as Buddy Christ's days.

Besides... If you're "christian", then technically you follow the New Testament rules. If you're "jewish", you technically follow what's in the Old Testament, some newer jewish writings, as well as some other older books that the crooked Catholics deemed unimportant back in the day; but that's too long of a name/description, so you use a shorter version and just call it the Torah.
