What are the two divisions of the Bible?

• A. Old Covenant And New Covenant
• B. Old Testament And New Testament
• C. The Gospels And Epistles
• D. The Pentateuch And Writings

Answer: (B)

The Bible is divided into two major sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains the writings before Jesus’ birth—creation, the history and laws given to Israel, poetry, and the prophets. The New Testament contains the life and teaching of Jesus, the growth of the church, his apostles’ letters, and prophetic writings. This broad split helps readers understand God’s dealings in two eras: the time before and after Jesus.

The other options refer to parts or alternative naming within the Bible rather than the two broad divisions. Old Covenant and New Covenant is a concept about relationship to God, not the book-wide split. The Gospels and Epistles are groups within the New Testament, not the entire Bible. The Pentateuch and Writings are divisions within the Old Testament, not the whole Bible.
