The divisions exist because the different texts were written independently and later gathered to make up The Bible. Technically, the Bible is an anthology. That is, there were many texts that had varying degrees of sacredness. In both the Jewish and Christian traditions, the final decisions about what books were in the canon and considered part of the Bible were made around the second century. Books like Esther, and Song of Songs were among those that were a bit controversial, Esther because God is not explicitly mentioned, and Song of Songs seems, at first glance, to be sexual
. There was no debate about the Torah, Psalms and the major prophets, but Christians had several gospels that they rejected and Jews (and later Protestants) rejected several books that the Christian church accepted, for example, the books of the Maccabees.
