From Steve McKenzies book "How to Read the Bible: History, Prophecy, Literature – Why Modern Readers Need to Know the Difference and What it Means for Faith Today"
Historiography
Biblical historians relate what happened in the past
Biblical prophecy
Biblical prophets foretell the future
Wisdom literature
Wisdom literature is a divine guide for daily living in such matters as disciplining children and getting along with one’s spouse; it also supplies the answer to such “mega” issues as the meaning of life and why bad things happen to good people.
Apocalyptic literature
Apocalyptic literature in the Bible details future events leading to the end of the world.
Letters of the NTThe letters of Paul and the other writers in the New Testament provide a kind of rule book for Christian doctrine and practice."
