tv evangelists that are on at one in the morning are CRAZY

I have to say that in my dozy hazy I was quite familiar with the books that he was quoting verses from. and in more than just that sing-songy-memorized way. it's been great to have a better knowledge of how everything is grouped:
first five -genesis through deuteronomy are historical / talking about God's chosen people. the jews.
next twelve -joshua through esther tell about the history of the israelites / more about the jews.
middle five -job through song of songs are poetic and seem to be more general.
last seventeen (whew) of the old testament -isaiah, jeremiah, lamentations, ezekiel, daniel, hosea, joel, amos, obadiah, jonah, micah, nahum, habakkuk, zephaniah, haggai, zechariah, malachi are all prophesies.
first five of the new testament -mathew through acts seem to be again, historical accounts / this time regarding the life of Jesus.
everything else is letters -from paul to: romans, corinthians, galatians, ephesians, philippians, colossians, thessalonians, timothy, titus, philemon. then there is an unknown author to hebrews and the titled authors: james, peter, john and jude. finally revelations (which I believe is from john but I think there may be some controversy over that...).
