KNOWING YOUR BIBLE April 23, 2023: Dear Friends, Today we begin a new series on “Knowing Your Bible”. The topic to be followed this week is on learning where the books of the Bible are located. Once the learning of the location of the Bible books has occurred, then the next step is to learn how to search for Bible verses that are to be read. To begin with, review last week’s blog by going to keeganbooks.com to study how the Bible is divided into the Old Testament, containing 39 books, and the New Testament, containing 27 books. The Old Testament books were written before Jesus Christ, our Savior, who was born in the year 6 BCE. The NewTestament books were written after Christ’s birth. To learn the location of the books of the Bible, follow the regime described as follows. Place a Bible in your hands. Open the Bible to the index that list the Bible books and review the list. Then proceed to the first book of the Old Testament, Genesis. Then slowly go through the book of Genesis until you reach the second book of the Old Testament, Exodus. Slowly move through Exodus until the third book is reached, Leviticus. Continue through that book and the rest of the books that are in the Old Testament. As progression occurs through all the books, pronounce the name several times of the book that is being gone through. This will help in learning the names of the books. Then continue in the New Testament to the book of Matthew. Again go through each book starting with Matthew and going through Revelation pronouncing the name of each book when progressing through the book. Repeat this process, going through all the books of the Bible 2-3 times a week until confidence is felt in knowing where the Bible books are located. To continue study on learning the location of the books, the organization of the books of the Bible will be listed as follows: Old Testament: The Law Books: Genesis through Deuteronomy. The History Books of the Old Testament: Joshua through Esther. The Wisdom and Poetry Books: Job through The Song of Solomon. The Prophet Books: Isaiah through Malachi. New Testament: The Gospel Books: Matthew through John. The New Testament History Book: Acts. Paul’s Letters: Romans through Philemon. Other Letters: Hebrews through Jude. Revelation. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR BIBLE STUDY THIS WEEK! Because of limited space, this study will continue next week, Spend time studying this blog. After learning the location of the books, learn where the book is in relation to the organization of the Bible books. This knowledge will also help when searching for a specific Bible verse.
