Is the Tenakh more important than the Talmud? Explain why.

The word Tanakh serves as an acronym for the Old Testament scriptures in their threefold division: the Law, the Prophets and the Writings. In Hebrew that would be the Torah, the Nevi’im and the Ketuvim. When speaking to Jewish people the Tanakh is a far better expression to use than the term Old Testament because the implication they take from it very often is that it is old in the sense that it should be discarded. In the New Testament this threefold division was accepted acknowledged by the Saviour when he spoke in Luke 24 of "all things ... which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms". However, as we shall see, the word Torah - the first section in that threefold division - can be interpreted in a far broader sense. If it's wrong delete this.
