How is the Bible made up?

The Bible consists of the Old and the New Testaments. There are 39 books in the Old Testament. They were written much before the time of Jesus. There are 27 books in the New Testament. They were written during the time of the Apostles. The Bible is therefore a collection of 66 books.

The books were divided into chapters and verses at a later date. Assignments: Learn the names of the books of the Bible. Abbreviations are used for the names.
