The Old Testament can be organized into 4 different types or genres: Books of the Law, History, Poetry, and Prophets.

The New Testament is arranged into 4 sections as well: The Gospels, History, Letters, and Prophecy. There are four accounts of the life of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

- The Gospel of John. John is the persuasive Gospel. It’s written to show the miracles of Jesus, so that those who read his story will believe in him and have everlasting life (Jn 20:30–31).
