What's the Difference Between a Book and a Novel?

i'm what's called a whole book scholar. So my job, my interest is to see how a book holds together. The nineteenth century was very much the rise of the novel as we know it to day. I look at the whole book. And immediately, when i started trying to dive into the bible, i realized that i needed some help this. This was more like a library than a book, but it was also a book. and i really wanted somebody who was a reader, but a bible scho or, who could help me understand and navigate a little bit about this book.
