1. The Old Testament, 39 Books. 2. The New Testament, 27 Books. Total.

The Jews were accustomed to divide the Old Testament into three main
parts, as follows:

1. The Law-the first five books, Genesis to Deuteronomy, otherwise
called the Pentateuch and books of Moses.

2. The Prophets. These are divided into the "former prophets" or
historical books and the "later prophets," or books, which we commonly
call the prophetic books.

3. The Writings, which was made to include; (1) Poetical
books-Psalms, Proverbs and Job; (2) Five Rolls-Song of Solomon, Ruth,
Esther, Lamentations and Ecclesiastes; (3) Other Books: Daniel, Ezra,
Nehemiah and I and II Chronicles.

The Bible itself divides the Old Testament into the three following
divisions:

1. The Law, which includes the first five books of the Bible, also
called the books of Moses.

2. The Prophets, which includes the next twelve books, commonly
called historical books and the seventeen books we know as the
prophetic books.

3. The Psalms, including the five poetical books.
