Q&A#80 Is There Meaning to be Found in the Ordering of the Books of the Bible?
October 26, 2018
Alastair Roberts
Today's question: "Do you think there is meaning to be found in the ordering of the books of the Bible?"
Within the video. I reference James Jordan's discussion of the ordering of the Old Testament books: http://www.biblicalhorizons.com/biblical-horizons/no-80-rethinking-the-order-of-the-old-testament/. I also reference Yoram Hazony's 'The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture': https://amzn.to/2yEgpSO.
