How to memorize the books from Genesis to Malchi

1. Step 1

   List the different segments of the Bible as follows:
   Old Testament:
   

   1. Letters of Moses
   2. History of Israel
   3. Wisdom Books
   4. Major Prophets
   5. Minor Prophets

   
   New Testament:
   

   1. Life of Jesus and the Early Church
   2. Paul’s Letters
   3. Apostle Letters
   4. Revelation

Step 2

1. List in each of these segment titles, the books that are in them.
   Letters of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
   History: Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther
   Wisdom Books: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon
   Major Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentation, Ezekiel, Daniel
   Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
   The Life of Jesus and Early Church: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts
   Paul’s Letters: Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon
   Other Apostles: Hebrews, James, 1-2 Peter, 1-2-3 John, Jude
   Revelation

2. Step 3

   Take each segment and read through it a few times. Visualize the segment. For example, visualize Moses writing these letters. Put the books in a tune that you may remember like the Lone Ranger theme. When the first segment is memorized, go on to the second segment using the same method although you may change the image in your mind and the theme song. When that segment is memorized, review the last segment with the current segment. As you add segments, soon you will be well on your way to memorizing all the books.

3. Step 4

   You may want to make flash cards to help you review the books in order. Make a game with a friend or family member.
