The New Testament is made up of how many books?

The New Testament contains twenty-seven books. They’re organized into four sections: the Gospels (four books), Acts (one book), the Epistles (letters) which include Paul’s thirteen letters plus eight others, and the Revelation (one book). When you add them up—4 plus 1 plus 21 plus 1—you get 27. The other numbers relate to different parts of the Bible: the Old Testament has 39 books, and together with the New Testament a Protestant Bible has 66 books. So twenty-seven is the count for the New Testament.
