The Bible
Introduction
One of the most important truths of the Christian faith is that God, the creator of heaven and earth, has chosen not only to communicate with us but also to live in our hearts by faith. One of the ways that he has chosen to communicate with us is through the Bible. New Testament scholar Scott McKnight writes, âThe Bible has a purpose: to help you hear God speak to you. But the paper becomes the voice of the Person only when we are open to the Holy Spirit. Our God is a God who speaks, and God speaks to us through our reading of the Bible.â1
As we begin this study we start with a brief understanding of the Bible and how to understand what God is saying to us through his word. The word Bible comes from the Greek word meaning âbook.â Therefore, the Holy Bible means the âHoly Book.â The New Testament refers to the Old Testament as the Scriptures, which means âwritings.â Thus, one could also use the term âHoly Writings.â
The Divisions of the Bible
In the Bible there are 66 books written over a period of approximately 1500 years. The books are divided into two main sections called the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The Old Testament
The Old Testament can be divided into the following categories:
The Law
The first five books of the Old Testament contain the law of God for the nation of Israel and these five books are often referred to as the Pentateuch.
The Books of the Law (5) are:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Historical Books
The historical books describe the initial occupation and eventual resettlement of the nation of Israel in the promised land, the transition from the rule of the judges to a monarchy, the division of the nation and the subsequent captivities of the northern and southern kingdoms, and finally the return of the remnant.
The Historical Books (12) are:
Joshua
Judges
Ruth
1 & 2 Samuel
1 & 2 Kings
1 & 2 Chronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
Poetry and Wisdom Literature
The poetic and wisdom literature reflect the human response to all the events of life. The feelings of joy, love, despair, anguish, despondency, and hope are all captured in the pages of this literature. It is through the reality of life experiences, captured in these books that one realizes God is working out his purpose.
The books of poetic and wisdom literature (5) are:
Job
Psalms
Proverbs
Ecclesiastes
Song of Songs
Prophecy
A prophet is one who speaks Godâs word to the people. In the Old Testament, the prophets were to explain Godâs law and his promises to the people. They challenged the people to holy living and foretold of the future acts of God. In particular, the prophets foretold the coming of the Messiah, the one who was the hope of the nations. The prophetic books are divided into two categories: Major (4) and Minor (12). Some might think that a major prophet had something of greater significance to say than a minor prophet. However, that is not the case. The major prophets, though fewer in number than the minor prophets, are designated as major simply because their content is more extensive. The major prophetsâ work is comprised of 183 chapters, while the minor prophets is comprised of 67 chapters.
The Major Prophets (5 books) are:
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Ezekiel
Daniel
The Minor Prophets (12 books) are:
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
The New Testament
The New Testament is divided into the following categories:
History
The first four books of the New Testament are called the Gospels because they refer to the good news (gospel) about Jesus. The Gospels are accounts of the life of Jesus and reveal him to be the Messiah. The fifth book, Acts of the Apostles, gives an account of the development of the early church.
The Historical books (5) are:
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Acts o...
