Wherein we chat about the “accident of the Bible.” The fact that any of the 66 currently canonized books survived the last 2000+ years of history is an actual miracle; let alone the somewhat arbitrary updates and edits that have occurred along the way, making their way into the current translations. We talk about the order of the books, the paucity of Pauline Epistles and much in between! What if, in the post-exilic redaction of the Hebrew Bible, only one creation account had been kept and not both? What only one of the four Gospels had survived the test of time? What would that mean for the religion we have today?
