Bible Outlines

The following are chapter outlines of selected New and Old Testament books with a stress upon Christian experience. They may be used as a guide in reading the Bible with a focus on the experiential emphasis of each chapter. That emphasis is summarized in the title given to each chapter. The chapter divisions for each New Testament book are complete, but the Scripture references given in the outlines are representative and not exhaustive.

It is our hope that these outlines will stimulate a desire to read the Word of God with a view to enjoying and experiencing the unsearchable riches of Christ. As He is unveiled in the pages of the New Testament, may the words in Luke 24:27 and 32 be an experiential reality to you - "And beginning from Moses and from all the Prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself...And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was opening to us the Scriptures?"
