Introducing: Bible 365

One of the most important things you must do to be spiritually

strong is to be diligent in your Bible reading. To encourage and

assist the members of the Ozark congregation in this task, we are

publishing a Bible reading guide. The title of this guide is a reminder to

each of us to emulate the example of the Bereans—“These were more

fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the

word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out

whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). Let us aim to read the

Bible every day.

The Bible is actually a collection of 66 books written by at least 40 human authors.
Christianity, which is based on the Bible, is the only religion that claims a resurrected
Savior, Christ. The Bible is a work of long compilation since the writings of its
books span at least 1500 years. It is an ancient writing in that the last author of
any of the books, the Apostle John, died approximately 1900 years ago. The two
major divisions are the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament is comprised of 39 books, Genesis to Malachi

The books of the Old Testament were written over a period of about 1000 years.
The Old Testament can be divided into 4 major subdivisions:

(A) History: Genesis thru Esther (17 books)
(B) Poetry/Wisdom Literature: Job thru Song of Solomon (5 books)
(C) Major Prophets: Isaiah thru Daniel (5 books)
(D) Minor Prophets: Hosea thru Malachi (12 books)

Genesis to Esther are 17 books which deal with History.

The first 5 books are known as the Pentateuch and are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers and Deuteronomy. These books are also known as the Mosaic Law because
it is generally accepted that Moses was the author of all 5 books or at least
the majority of each. The books also cover the pre-Canaan or Promised Land existence
of the Israelites.

The next 12 books are Joshua to Esther and can be divided into to 2 subcategories. The
first 9 of these 12 books are Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, I
Chronicles and II Chronicles. These books record the experiences in Canaan.

The last 3 of these 12 books are Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. These books are the
post-exile from Canaan history.

The 5 books in the center of the Old Testament are Poetry and Wisdom Literature.

These books are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. These books
contain, respectively, writings of the 5 following subjects: (1) human tragedy and suffering;
(2) poetry of praise, prophesy, problems and peace; (3) wisdom for life; (4) the
meaninglessness of life apart from God and the futility of autonomous human wisdom;
(5) God's gift of the relation of love between men and women, which is actually a foreshadowing
of the relationship between Christ and the Church.

The last 17 books of the Old Testament are the Prophets. These are divided into 2 main
categories: the Major Prophets and the Minor Prophets. The Major Prophets are made
up of 5 books and are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel. The Minor
Prophets are made up of the last 12 books of the Old Testament and are Hosea, Joel,
Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and
Malachi.
