There are the four Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and then all the rest, most of which are Epistles, or letters. The book of Acts is really a book of the history of the early church and so some would put that into another category by itself, thus making three divisions.

How many testaments in the Bible?

There are two "Testaments" in the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Testament is another word for "covenant". The books of the Old Testament cover the time period under God's Covenant with Abraham and the children of Israel. The books of the New Testament were written during the time period under God's New Covenant, which was given to mankind after the Lord Jesus Christ walked this earth, became man's substitutionary sacrifice when He was crucified, was buried and rose again.


Is Luke in the Old or New Testament?

A:The two books known as the First Epistle to Timothy (1 Timothy) and the Second Epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy) are in the New Testament, having been written in the first part of the second century and attributed to the apostle Paul. Nearly all scholars believe Paul was not the author, but the early Church Fathers accepted that attribution and therefore included the books in the New Testament.


How the bible is set up?

First and more noticeable is that there are two books to the bible, the Old and the New Testaments. The one tells of the creation and the story up till the birth of Christ. The other tells of Christs dealing with his fellow men. The Old Testament lived by the Law of Moses and of Abraham, while the New Testament lived by the Higher Law, Christ himself being that law. Second the compilers of the testaments only had events which would, in their wisdom, fit into a certain place so that all would run as smoothly as possible. Though Revelation is the last book it does not mean that it was the last to be written. Its content warranted it being placed there.


Is Corinthians in the New Testament?

A:No. Acts of the Apostles is a sequel to Luke's Gospel and is often thought of as a history of the early Church. Perhaps it could better be regarded as an epic written in the style of a historical novel. An epistle is simply another name for a letter.
