Have you been looking for different ways to remind yourself, your children, or your students about the chronological order of the books of the Bible? Searching for a free printable books of the Bible chart? These three different options for printable books of the Bible list are sure to be a great resource for Sunday School, personal quiet time, adult Bible studies, and more.
Why memorize the books of the Bible?
Why, in this digital age of reading the Word of God on your phone, tablet, or computer, should you take the time to memorize the order of the books of the Bible? It’s easier than ever to locate a single verse by searching, even when you only know a couple of words of a Bible verse.
There are some benefits to memorizing or being familiar with the order of the books of the Bible. The order of the books of the Bible is somewhat chronological, except when it is two authors about the same event. Even so, knowing where you are in history chronologically can give better understanding in studying the whole Bible.
Another reason is one of the most common reasons for knowing the books of the Bible. It can help you follow along in a Bible study or a sermon, to find a book of the Bible quickly. Each church and Bible study can be different in how much you use the printed Bible, or how often you need to search for a passage. Having an idea of where books are in the Bible is a great way to aid you in finding the books of the Bible faster.
Additionally, knowing the order of the books of the Bible compliments a comprehensive Christian education. Whether it is part of a homeschool curriculum, a Sunday School lesson, or a Christian school Bible class, knowing the order of the books of the Bible is a building block to further Christian education.
However, not memorizing the books of the Bible does not make you a “bad” Christian, nor does memorizing them make you a “good” Christian. Some people use a free books of the Bible list as a quick reference to quickly find where different books are in the Bible.
Other people who want to memorize the books of the Bible might find that a printed books of the Bible chart isn’t the best way for them to make progress in memorization. In that case, a books of the Bible song might be helpful.
Here is an example of one from Sing And Learn The Bible for the Old Testament books, and here is their version for the New Testament books. In past years, this is how many young Christians learned the order of the Bible books.
