There are 39 books in the Old Testament.

Additional Answer:

Originally counted as 22 books, today they are counted as 39 books.

Rabbinic Judaism recognizes 24 books of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible, which are the core books accepted in all Christian Old Testament Bibles. Some of the discrepancies in the number of books is due to differences in grouping the books. For example, the Hebrew Bible combines several books into a single book (e.g. 12 minor prophet books were originally grouped as a single book).
