00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.990
Welcome to One Minute Through the Bible. In today's

00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:07.190
episode, episode four, we'll be discussing a

00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:10.449
brief outline of the books and epistles that

00:00:10.449 --> 00:00:13.849
make up the New Testament. So if you have your

00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:16.289
Bibles, open up to the New Testament section

00:00:16.289 --> 00:00:18.769
of your Bible. And immediately as you open up

00:00:18.769 --> 00:00:21.469
the New Testament section of your Bible, you

00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:24.750
will see you will begin with the four gospels.

00:00:25.109 --> 00:00:28.030
So in the four gospels, the four gospels in the

00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:31.519
gospel category, consists of Matthew, Mark, Luke,

00:00:31.579 --> 00:00:35.060
and John. Now, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are often

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:37.780
called synoptic gospels. Then it kind of leaves

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:41.600
John all alone to himself. And after the four

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.299
gospels, next up in its own category is the Book

00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:50.700
of Acts, often titled Acts of the Apostles. Now,

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.439
I think that the Book of Acts should be called

00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.079
Acts of the Holy Spirit, because the Book of

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:01.850
Acts describes how the Holy Spirit superintended

00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:05.209
the development of the early church, which leads

00:01:05.209 --> 00:01:08.689
to another title. You can put the book of Acts

00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:12.689
in by itself, which is of record of early church

00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:15.370
history. Divided in the New Testament further,

00:01:15.609 --> 00:01:19.689
we have the Pauline epistles or the writings

00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:24.230
of the apostle Paul to the individual local Christian

00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:28.680
communities that he helped. Now, Paul wasn't

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.379
writing to one particular church in Rome or one

00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:34.359
particular church in Galatia. He was writing

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.239
to a group of local Christian communities in

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.120
those regions. Galatians, Romans, 1st and 2nd

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.500
Corinthians, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, Ephesians,

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:50.319
Philippians, Philemon, Titus, 1st and 2nd Timothy.

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.620
Then we have the Apostle Peter's letters, 1st

00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:57.439
and 2nd Peter's. Going further we have the John's

00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.939
writings, John's letters, first, second, and

00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:03.480
third John, and we have the Apostle John's prophetic

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:08.419
writings of the book of Revelation. Now, we end

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:11.539
the New Testament with James' letter, who's written

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:14.560
to Christians everywhere, or Christian Jews of

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.340
the Diasporia, and finally the unknown Christian

00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:22.460
author that wrote the book of Hebrews. Now, I

00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:24.740
want to thank you for joining me. Follow, share

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:25.379
