The holy writing that Christians, but not Jews, uphold as scripture is the New Testament. To arrive at this answer, we can examine the choices provided and eliminate the options that Jews also consider as scripture.
A. The Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh or Old Testament, is regarded as sacred scripture by both Christians and Jews. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
B. The Talmud is a collection of Jewish writings that consists of the Mishnah and the Gemara. While the Talmud is highly respected and studied by Jews, it is not considered scripture in the same way as the Hebrew Bible. However, it is important to note that the Talmud is not upheld as scripture by Christians. So, we can keep this option for now.
C. The New Testament is the collection of writings that make up the second part of the Christian Bible. It includes the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, Epistles, and the Book of Revelation. The New Testament is exclusively regarded as scripture by Christians and is not considered as such by Jews. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
D. The Koran, also known as the Quran, is the holy book of Islam. It is neither upheld as scripture by Christians nor Jews. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
To summarize, Christians uphold the New Testament as scripture, while Jews do not. Therefore, the correct answer is C. New Testament.
