New Testament books?

• A. 27
• B. 19
• C. 24
• D. 30

Answer: (A)

Twenty-seven is the standard number of books in the New Testament in most Bible traditions. It begins with the four Gospels, which tell Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection, then the Acts of the Apostles records the early church’s growth. After that come the letters: Paul’s epistles and other apostles’ writings that teach doctrine and how Christians should live, and finally Revelation, a prophetic closing book about future events. When you add these sections together, you get twenty-seven books, which is why this is the correct choice.
