Solution

The Bible is traditionally divided into two main parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament.

  1. The Old Testament: This is the first part of the Bible originally written in Hebrew. It is the sacred scripture of Judaism and contains religious laws, history, prophecy, and poetry. It is divided into several books, including Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, etc.

  2. The New Testament: This is the second part of the Bible, written in Greek. It contains the teachings, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is divided into several books, including the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Acts, the Epistles (letters), and Revelation.

So, the Bible is divided into two main parts, but within these parts, there are multiple books, making a total of 66 books in the Protestant Bible. The Catholic Bible includes additional books known as the Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha making a total of 73 books.
