OLD = 3 letters TESTAMENT = 9 letters, therefore 3 and 9 = 39
NEW = 3 letters TESTAMENT = 9 letters, therefore 3 X 9 = 27
39 + 27 = 66 books in the bible

You seem to be short a few books. When is the last time you looked into the history of Scripture? You are aware that Luther and his crew removed a few books from the canon by their own (made up) authority, aren't you?
The question is not only how many books are in the Bible, but why you think there are as many as as you do.
So by what authority and by which great reasons do you presume to take away books that were accepted parts of Holy Scripture for centuries?
Your math sounds right, but the sum is still all wrong.

lol I went to Lutheran schools from preschool through high school. We had to learn a song in first grade of all the books in order and at the same time we learned the mathematical frequencies of the letters.

There are many different versions of what we know as the Bible.
I would say it would depend a lot on what version the individual
considered authoritative.
That's a way to remember at least one version though, thanks.

You've obviously been to Bible College. I learnt that 3 years ago.

All this adding and multiplying, wouldn't just '66' be a lot easier?

Or just think 6 and 6.
