The New Testament contains 27 books. These are traditionally divided into five categories: the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline Epistles (letters), the General Epistles, and the Book of Revelation
. This count of 27 books is consistent across most Christian traditions, including Protestant and Catholic Bibles, though the Catholic Bible includes additional Old Testament books but the New Testament remains 27 books
