Overview
In preparing this section, we have been amazed at the attitudes of some theologians.
They express their own particular beliefs as absolutes, without any reference to the range
of opinions held by other writers.

We follow the common English classification for the Hebrew Scriptures which divides the books into five sections:
 | 1. Five books of the Law: (a.k.a. the Torah & the Pentateuch), consisting of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy
|  | 2. Twelve books of History: Josha, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings,1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther
|  | 3. Five books of Poetry and Wisdom: Job. Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiasts, and the Song of Solomon
|  | 4. Five books by the Major Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Exekiel and Daniel
|  | 5. Twelve books by the Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Michah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zecharih, & Malachi
