Best Answer

The New Testament is divided into: the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles or Letters, and the Revelation or Apocalypse. The letters are known by their Greek name of 'epistoli' or epistle in English, which simply means 'letter.' For example, the Epistle (or Letter) of St Paul to the Colossians. The New Testament contains 21 letters or epistles. It is generally accepted by most Christians that St Paul is the author of most, if not all of these epistles. The Epistles are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude. These letters are referred to as "The Epistles" whereas the rest of the New Testament texts are referred to as "Books" such as the Book (or Gospel) of Mark, or the Book of Acts, or the Book of Revelation.

What is the 6th book of the New Testament?

Modern researchers say that the Book of Revelation was probably written at the end of the first century, but that several New Testament books were written later than this. The last book to be written in the New Testament is believed to have been 2 Peter. Although written in Peter's name, it is quite obviously pseudepigraphical and uses a good deal of material from the Epistle of Jude, which actually self-identifies as a second-century work.

Which New Testament book was written last and by who?

A:It is somewhat uncertain which New Testament book was written last. Bible scholars say that 2 Peter includes material based on the Epistle of Jude, which self-identifies as a second-century work, so Second Peter was probably written not long before 150 CE and might have been the last New Testament book to be written. Although attributed to the apostle Peter, the real author is anonymous.


Did the Apostle Paul write Revelation?

The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, so Paul could not have written it. The book was at one stage attributed to the apostle John, because of the coincidence of name, and in fact was accepted into the New Testament solely because of that attribution. Modern scholars say that the author could not have been the apostle John and simply call the book's author 'John of Patmos'.
