How Is the Bible Arranged or Organized? The Bible is one large book<br />

consisting of 66 separate, smaller books arranged into two divisions, the Old<br />

Testament of 39 books and the New Testament of 27 books. The Bible is the<br />

only true written revelation of God.<br />

The word testament means covenant. The 39 books of the Old Testament<br />

are primarily related to God’s call and covenant or promised relationship with<br />

the Hebrews, who became the nation of Israel. These<br />

books reveal God’s promise to Israel to be their God and<br />

provider with the condition that they obey Him. These<br />

books also reveal God’s promise to redeem and restore<br />

harmony in all the relationships of creation through<br />

His Son, Jesus, Who one day<br />

would be born from the nation<br />

of Israel.<br />

The 39 books of the Old Testament<br />

are grouped into 4 categories—5<br />
