Series Overview
The Bible is God’s Word. Every person mentioned in its pages is there on purpose, for a purpose. And sometimes people have the same name and we mix them up, or we aren’t sure what a person did, or we have never even heard his or her name! In this series, we’re going to dig into God’s Word to look at commonly mixed up or overlooked people to learn “Who’s Who in the Bible!”
Lesson Overview
The Bible can be hard or intimidating if you don’t know a few basic details first. Our Bible is organized into two sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The OT takes place before Jesus was born; the NT begins with His birth. It is one large book made up of 66 smaller books (39 OT, 27 NT). The books in our Bible are arranged by types rather than chronically. (See graphic.)
