The Bible is divided into three sections.
There is the Old Testament which consist of 39 books. It has 929 chapters, and 23,145 words. There is some difference in the titles assigned to some of the books. The Catholics usually spell the names of the prophets using Latin versions of their names. The Protestants use spellings based closer to the original Hebrew names.
There is the New Testament which consist of 27 books. It has 260 chapters and 7,958 words. These books are the same accords all the different Christian traditions.
Finally there is a section called the Apocrypha. These are books which are held to be important in understanding the Jewish faith from which the Christian faith comes. They are not considered to be "inspired" like the 66 books of the Old and New Testament. All of these books are from the Old Testament time. It is permissable to either publish them intermingled (in assigned spots) with the Old Testament books, to group them between the other two Testaments, or to leave them out completely. This much like the Muslims have writings that are "sacred", but not part of the Qur'an such as the Sunnah.
The Cathlic church has 9 books (or book parts) that they include in the Aprocrypha. The Orthodox churchs add 3 to 5 more. The Protestant church does not include any of them in its Bibles. Both Catholic and Orthodox churches publish Bibles within and without these additional books, as they are considered to be of lesser inspiration that the rest of scripture.

I know of the Bible...yet don't know the exact number of chapters.
Yet . . . no matter the answer...what does it matter ? Seems to me that it's more the message being shared...not the size of book or number of chapters that would matter.

Let me get this straight, you're comparing one book of bronze-age mythology to another? To try to make some kind of point?
About what? Who's book is more ridiculous? Trust me, they are neck and neck in the "stupid fiction" category.
Honestly, you people make Gomer Pyle look like a genius.

Shakespeare's works are final, too, but they are also just fiction, as is the Quran

What is your point?...There is nothing to compare between these two books...They're JUST books of stories.
