The New Testament contains 27 books, 260 chapters, 7,957 verses, and 180,751 words.
A basic outline of the 27 books:
I. The Gospels (Matthew – John)
II. The Acts of the Apostles
III. The Pauline Epistles (Romans – Philemon)
IV. The Hebrew Epistles (Hebrews – Jude)
V. The Revelation
It is important to understand that the books are not arranged chronologically but rather dispensationally.
Times Past (Eph. 2:11-12) – Distinction, Gentiles blessed through rise and instrumentality of Israel
But Now (Eph. 2:13-18) – No distinction, Gentiles blessed through the fall of Israel, MYSTERY
Ages to Come (Eph. 2:4-7) – Distinction once again, Israel inherits the earth, Body of Christ the heavenly places
I. Matthew – Acts = Times Past – The prophesied King and His kingdom offered and rejected, transition away
II. Romans – Philemon = But Now – The revelation of the mystery
III. Hebrews – Revelation = Ages to Come – The resumption and consummation of the prophetic kingdom program of Israel
