The shortest "book" in any version of The Bible is Psalm 117 with only 2 verses if you define each Psalm as a book. It can be argued whether each Psalm is a book or the entire collection of Psalms is a single book. If the latter then Psalm 117 would be considered a chapter of the book of Psalms.

Psalms aside, there are some small books in both the Old Testament and New Testament.

3rd John has the fewest words in the Bible and is, therefore, the shortest. 2nd John has the fewest verses.

Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, by both the number of words and verses. Obadiah has only 21 verses.
