Books of the Bible

This may be well known information but it is always good to know about the books of the Bible - off-by-heart!

There are 39 books in then OLD TESTAMENT

and 27 books in the New Testament

making a total of 66 books in the Bible.

Think about this way ...

There are 3 letters in the word OLD

And 9 letters in the word TESTAMENT,

OLD and TESTAMENT = 3 and 9 = 39

There are 3 letters in the word NEW

And 9 letters in the word TESTAMENT,

NEW x TESTAMENT = 3 x 9 = 27

39 + 27 = 66
