More About the Bible: Part 3

Yet To Be # 186

The sixty-six books of the Bible are categorized into nine classifications:

• The Pentateuch
• History
• Poetry
• Prophets
• Gospels
• History
• Pauline Epistles
• General Epistles
• Prophecy – Apocalypse

The first five books of the Old Testament are called the Pentateuch which title comes from the Greek Penta meaning, five and teuchos meaning scroll. Also known as the Law or the books of Moses, the lawgiver. In Jewish tradition, these five books make up what is called the Torah. The books begin with Genesis that chronicles the Creation, the covenant with Abraham and his descendants to Deuteronomy, ending with the death of Moses. Many scholars discuss the authorship of these books with the consensus that Moses composed them.
