True or False: The second major section of the Old Testament is the Book of History.

The main idea being tested is how the Old Testament is grouped into large sections. In most Christian study materials, the Old Testament is organized into four major sections: Law, History, Poetry/Writings, and Prophets. The second of these is the History books, a collection that narrates Israel’s story from Joshua through Esther (with Ruth sometimes placed with the historical group, depending on the tradition). The phrase Book of History is a common shorthand for that entire block of historical narratives, not a single book. So, within this framework, the statement is true.
