Old Testament —The story of God’s people

Christ.
New Testament —The story of Jesus and
God’s people (the Church ) since the time of
Christ.




The Old Testament has 3 major types of
books:
1. History (First 5 books are the Pentatuch or
Torah)
2. Poetry
3. Prophecy (Major Prophets and Minor
Prophets)


Of the 17 historical books, 11 are “primary”
in the sense that they advance the storyline,
and 6 are “secondary” (they amplify and
supplement the primary books).
The latter are Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Ruth, 1
& 2 Chronicles, and Esther.
