How is the Bible organized?
The
Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New
Testament. God’s saving acts are central to each of these parts: in the
Old the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage through the
Exodus, and in the New the deliverance of all humankind from sin through
cross and resurrection of Christ.
Both testaments are arranged in roughly chronological order, though
the books are grouped according to genre, such as history, poetry, and
prophecy for the Old; and biography, history, epistles, and prophecy for
the New. You can take a closer look at the organization of each of the
testaments by clicking on the “A” link under Introduction to the Old
Testament and the “B” link under Introduction to the New Testament.
