About these cards
The Protestant Bible has 66 books: 39 in the Old Testament (929 chapters) and 27 in the New Testament (260 chapters). Learning them in order makes every Bible study faster, because you can find any passage without the table of contents.
Each card shows where the book sits, its section (Law, History, Poetry, Prophets, Gospels, letters) and the books on either side, which is what actually makes the order stick.
