Evolution of the Word: The New Testament in the Order the Books Were Written
Marcus J. Borg
The Word in question is the New Testament and the issue at hand is the order in which the "books" were written. Up for debate is what it means to say that any part of the Bible is "The inspired Word of God". There are 4 Gospels including Acts which is an extension of Luke; The Epistles arranged in order of length; and Revelation. Another assertion is that Paul wrote only 7 genuine letters and the rest were written in his style. Those letters include the acceptance of slavery and the misogynistic pronouncements.
Who the authors were, where and when the lived, and to whom they wrote is all part of Borg's discussion. Included is the text of each "book".
