How might one categorize all of the books of the New Testament by theme?
score:6
The Books of the Bible, a reading Bible version of the NIV, has reordered the NT in this way:
Luke-Acts and the Pauline epistles
Luke-Acts
1 Thessalonians
2 Thessalonians
1 Corinthians
2 Corinthians
Galatians
Romans
Colossians
Ephesians
Philemon
Philippians
1 Timothy
Titus
2 TimothyMatthew and works addressed to Jewish believers in Jesus
Matthew
Hebrews
JamesMark and works addressed to a Roman audience
Mark
1 Peter
2 Peter
JudeJohn and the letters of John
John
1 John
2 John
3 John
Revelation
In each section the books are ordered according to their hypothesised date of writing. This arrangement also groups Luke and Paul's writings and Mark and Peter's writings together, which is an advantage as both of these pairs are thought to have worked together in their ministry.
I suspect though that all of these categorisation systems are going to be pretty simplistic. There are so many factors you could categorise them by. For example you could group Colossians, Ephesians and 1 Peter together for their instructions to husbands and wives, or 1 & 2 Thessalonians and 2 Peter together for their focus on eschatology. However you look at it you're likely to see new ways to categorise them, and in the end this kind of scheme can only tell you a tiny fraction of the content of any book.
