∙ 15y agoNow there are a couple of ways a person can answer this. In the New Testament Jesus refers to the Old Testament (O.T.) as "the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms" Luke 24:44
Today the O.T. is divided up into 5 main areas. There is the Pentateuch, historical books, Wisdom Literature and the major and minor prophets. In the following part of the answer I will be using the order that is in most English Bibles. 1. The Pentateuch also called the Torah (the law) consists of Genesis through Deuteronomy. 2. The historical book Joshua through Esther, 3. Wisdom literature consists of Job through Song of Solomon, 4. The major prophet are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekel, and Daniel,5. The minor prophets consist of Hosea through Malachi.

What four facts confirm the Old Testament?
Since the Old Testament was written as separate books over a period of centuries, no set of just four facts could confirm the reliability or truth of the the entire collection. Even if facts confirmed something about any one book, further facts would be needed to confirm the next book. So, no four facts confirm the entire Old Testament. It is easier to find four facts about the Old Testament that prove our usual understanding of the Old Testament to be unfounded.
What are the four major divisions of the Old Testaments?
I can think of two semi-obvious ways to make four divisions: The Historical books, the Poetical books, the Major prophets, and the Minor prophets OR The Pentateuch, the other Historical books, the Poetical books, and the Prophets. As may be obvious from those lists, it's rather more usual to make three divisions (history/poetry/prophecy) ... to make four, you've got to split one of the three.
What are the main divisions in the New Testament?
They are Gospels, History, Letters and Prophecy.
