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.
