OT categories include which of the following groups?

• A. Gospels, Acts, Letters, Revelation
• B. Pentateuch, Books of the Prophets, Sapiential Literature, Twelve Minor Prophets
• C. Pentateuch, Prophets, Writings, Psalms
• D. Torah, Nebiim, Ketuvim, Apocrypha

Answer: (B)

The Old Testament is commonly organized into three major groupings: the Pentateuch (the Law), the Books of the Prophets, and the Writings. Within these, scholars often recognize subgroups such as Sapiential Literature (the Wisdom/Writings tradition) and the Twelve Minor Prophets as specific parts within the Prophets. So listing Pentateuch, Books of the Prophets, Sapiential Literature, and Twelve Minor Prophets reflects both the main divisions and well-known subcategories, making it the best fit. The other options mix in New Testament books (Gospels, Acts, Letters, Revelation) or present the Old Testament divisions in a way that doesn’t align with the standard canon, such as treating Psalms as a separate category within Writings or including Apocrypha as a standalone category.
