BOOKS OF THE BIBLE                            The old testament is about the loving relationship between God and the Hebrew people.Just because the old testament is old doesn't men that it is any less important, it can still teach us.The old testament is divided into 4 major categories: Books of law , Historical books , Wisdom books , and Phophetic books.  The old testament and the new testament are both important.
