What does the Bible call Old Testament? (e-Articles)
When we were coming up in life, we were told in grade and Sunday School that the Old Testament contains 39 books while the New Testament contains 27 books. They continue to teach us that the 39 books begin with Genesis and end with Malachi, and the 27 books begin from Matthew and end with Revelation. Many people today still believe that this above information is the truth. But are they really right? Did God through the His inspired writers arrange the Bible that way? Are we to consider human assumptions or we are supposed to follow the scriptures? Not knowing where the Old Testament starts and ends will negatively affect your ability to understand and interpret the scriptures rightly. Well, in this Article, you are going to know the real truth the Bible gives us about the limit of the Old Testament from that of the New Testament. There is no need for human assumptions or opinions, what God says is, and must always be the final.
