- Three gospels, meant to be a biography of the life of Jesus Christ
- Most of the remainder are epistles, that is letters sent by disciples to various churches about the eastern Mediterranean
- The Acts of the Apostles is an epistle but very much a biography of the early apostles.
- The Revelations of John are also an epistle however it is unique enough to be classed as a prophetic book.
