(Here's some notes I have)
OLD TESTAMENT
The first five books go by many names:
"The Books of Moses" (except it's fairly accepted now Moses could not have written them)
"The Torah" (Judaism)
"The Law" (Judaism)
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
THE PROPHETS
Major Prophets
Joshua
Judges
Ruth
1 Samuel
2 Samuel
1 Kings
2 Kings
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Ezekiel
The Twelve Minor Prophets (Minor because they are short books, not because they are unimportant.)
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
THE HAGIOGRAPHA
Psalms
Proverbs
Job
Daniel
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
Ecclesiastes
1 Chronicles
2 Chronicles
{Song of Songs; Songs of Solomon; Canticles} (lots of sex in this book)
The Jews thought most of the Law, less of the Prophets, and least of all the Hagiographa.
NEW TESTAMENT
THE LETTERS OF PAUL.
The Letters Predate the Gospels
Paul does not use the word synagogue (sunagoge).
Paul quite consistently uses the word "saints" (hagioi) for members of the
Christian communities. The Gospels contain only a single instance (Matt. 27:52)
