New Testament
The New Testament consists of three major types of books: historical books, Pauline epistles, (which are divided between those written to churches and those written to pastors), and the general epistles. But chronologically, the story line is carried by the gospels and Acts. Half of the epistles occur during the time of the Book of Acts. The other eleven epistles occur during either Paul’s freedom from bondage, including the book of 1 Timothy, or during his second Roman imprisonment, or during the expansion of the church after Paul’s death.
