Old Testament
This term is a proper noun and is almost always capitalized in religious and academic contexts. It refers specifically to the collection of books that precede the New Testament in the Christian Bible, though it is functionally equivalent to the Tanakh in Judaism.
Because it refers to a unique, singular body of sacred text, it is treated as a non-count noun. It is rarely used in the plural unless referring to different versions or translations of the text across various denominations.
