The Bible contains historical accounts that reflect cultural practices, events, and people from ancient times. Some books in the Bible, such as Genesis, Exodus, Kings, Chronicles, and Acts, include historical narratives that depict the relationships between individuals, nations, and God. These accounts provide insights into the social, religious, and political dynamics of the past.

What percentage of the Bible is the Old Testament?

The Bible has 66 books. 39 of which are in the Old Testament. That's roughly 59% of the Bible. The math above, while quick, is not entirely accurate. A number of books in the Old Testament such as Psalms and Jeremiah, are incredibly long. In fact, the nine longest books in the Bible are all in the Old Testament. Of the seven shortest books in the Bible, six are from the New Testament. Therefore, it is probably more accurate to say that 75% of the Bible's pages are Old Testament.
