Summary

The Bible is organised into two major divisions -- the Old Testament and the New Testament -- and within each, the books fall into recognisable categories by the kind of writing they are. Knowing this structure makes the Bible far easier to navigate: instead of one undivided collection, it becomes a map you can find your way around.
