Bible Survey

GenesisSteve Gregg
In this Bible Survey by Steve Gregg, we learn that the Protestant Bible contains 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The Old Testament spans almost 4,000 years of history from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus and is centered on the Abrahamic covenant. Additionally, the New Testament covers 60 years of history, including a year of obscurity, a year of popularity, and a year of opposition that led to the Passion and Crucifixion.
