According to the Declaration of Faith, how many books are in the New Testament?

• A. Twenty-seven
• B. Twenty-six
• C. Twenty-eight
• D. Twenty-nine

Answer: (A)

The main point is the established canon of the New Testament as the Declaration of Faith presents it. The New Testament is considered to contain twenty-seven books. This includes the four Gospels, Acts, a set of epistles from the apostles and early church leaders, and the book of Revelation. That specific arrangement sums to twenty-seven, which is the count recognized by this Declaration of Faith. Some traditions differ on the inclusion of certain books or where Hebrews is placed, which can lead to different counts, but the standard understood here is twenty-seven. The other numbers would reflect those different canons and aren’t the count upheld by this declaration.
