<!-- interlanguage:end -->The Bible is divided into two main sections: the [[The Old Testament|Old Testament]], written before the birth of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] (B.C., Before Christ), and the [[The New Testament|New Testament]], written after His coming (A.D., Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of the Lord”). The Old Testament has 39 books, and the New Testament has 27 books. The books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, are not arranged in chronological order but are grouped by genre and subject matter.

It is organized into the following categories: The Four Gospels―accounts of the life and ministry of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]], Historical Book, [[Paul’s Epistles|Pauline Epistles]], General Epistles, and Prophetic Book. Among the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they present the life of Jesus from a similar viewpoint. The Pauline Epistles include 14 letters traditionally attributed to the Apostle [[Paul]]. Although there is scholarly debate regarding the authorship of Hebrews, many regard Paul as the likely author.<ref>The Church History, Eusebius, ''Kregel Publications'', 2021</ref><ref>[https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/who-wrote-the-book-of-hebrews Who Wrote the Book of Hebrews?], ''Zondervan Academic'', April 17, 2017</ref> In the General Epistles: James and Jude were written by the brothers of Jesus. 1 and 2 Peter were written by the Apostle Peter. 1, 2, and 3 John were letters from the [[John (Apostle)|Apostle John]]. The final book, Revelation, was written by the Apostle John while exiled on the island of Patmos, recording the visions shown to him by Jesus.
