The Bible is a collection of books. In fact, the word Bible comes from the Greek word Biblia which means books. The books of the Bible were written by different people during more than 1,000 years.

The Bible is divided into two main parts:

The Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament are the scriptures, or sacred writings of Gods chosen people covering many centuries. It includes book that  contains the history of Gods people, the law of how things were done including the 10 Commandments that God gave to Moses, writings of the profits such as Isaiah who foretold the birth of Christ, Psalm and Proverbs.

The New Testament contains the Gospels, history of the early church , letters( epistles) to the churches from St. Paul and other apostles and prophecies found in the book of revelation. New Testament includes 27 books.

The Bible also has a table of contents that list the books, number of chapter and verse.
