How well is the information in the Bible organized?

Answer 1

horribly, and inaccurately as well i might add.

Answer 2

Sixty-six individual books from Genesis to Revelation make up the Bible canon. Thirty-nine of the 66 books, making up three quarters of the Bible’s contents, are known as the Hebrew Scriptures, (called the 'old testament' by some) all having been initially written in that language with the exception of a few small sections written in Aramaic. (Ezr 4:8–6:18; 7:12-26; Jer 10:11; Da 2:4b–7:28) By combining some of these books, the Jews had a total of only 22 or 24 books, yet these embraced the same material. It also appears to have been their custom to subdivide the Scriptures into three parts—‘the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.’ (Lu 24:44;) The last quarter of the Bible is known as the Christian Greek Scriptures, so designated because the 27 books comprising this section were written in Greek.
Subdividing the Bible into chapters and verses (KJ has 1,189 chapters and 31,102 verses) was not done by the original writers, but it was a very useful device added centuries later. The Masoretes divided the Hebrew Scriptures into verses; then in the 13th century of our Common Era chapter divisions were added. Finally, in 1555 Robert Estienne’s edition of the Latin Vulgate was published as the first complete Bible with the present chapter and verse divisions.
The 66 Bible books all together form but a single work, a complete whole. As the chapter and verse marks are only convenient aids for Bible study and are not intended to detract from the unity of the whole, so also is the sectioning of the Bible, which is done according to the predominant language in which the manuscripts have come down to us. We, therefore, have both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, with “Christian” added to the latter to distinguish them from the Greek Septuagint, which is the Hebrew portion of the Scriptures translated into Greek.

Answer 3

It isn't organized. It isn't meant to be. Each one of the 66 books of the Bible is different in style. For instance Many of Paul's epistles are quite orderly: Romans in logical order, Corinthians in thematic order.
Some of the Old Testament histories (Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther) are in chronological order. The psalms are poems or hymns, and do not have much order to them, although some are bunched by topics. Proverbs has little or no order.

Answer 4

The Bible is pretty much organized in chronological order of historic events, not necessarily in the order in which the books were written. I think it's fairly well organized.

Answer 5

It has a great organization!

In the Old Testament, there is an orderly grouping of seventeen historical books: the Law of Moses and the historical books. (Genesis through Esther.) Next, there are five experiential books of wisdom and poetry. (Job through the Song of Solomon.) Lastly, a second group of seventeen books by Prophets. (Isaiah through Malachi.)

In the New Testament, it is similar to the Old Testament. Although the New Testament is broken down into three sections. These are History (Matthew through Acts), Letters (Romans through Jude), and Prophecy (Revelation).

Answer 6

It follows in a logical sequence from the creation story to the demise of the world. If you drink sixteen martinis, you can observe how the intervening events are exquisitely tied into the plot. The character development is unrivaled in the literature of both the Eastern and Western World. To see the latter, smoke a joint.

Answer 7

very well....I have this page in the back of my Bible that has the passages organized into certain days (i.e. feeling sick, feeling tempted) also organized into passages you can read each day for a year

Answer 8

very well, Old Test. prophecizes the messiah, 4 gospels. confirms the old test. , book of acts preach the gospel, the epistles explain the gospel, and revelation shows the end.

Answer 9

Wonderfully!

If you are familiar with your Bible (read it regularly) you'll find it easy to find what you're looking for anyway.
It just takes a bit of practice!
