Books of the Bible

I've been a Christian since 1969 and a Baptist since 1957. I figured it was about time for me to memorize the books of the Bible, so I went online and looked for something to help me. Eventually, I ran across this chart that is organized like the Periodic Table.


It is color coded and grouped into groups that are more easily memorized. The Old Testament is grouped into Pentateuch, History, Wisdom Literature, Poetry and Writings, Major Prophets, and Minor Prophets. The New Testament is grouped into the Gospels, History, Paul's Letters, General Letters, and Apocalyptic. Each square has the number of chapters and verses, date of writing, and author. Now I can say the books of the Bible in order from memory.
