Bible Question: Why have the epistles of the New Testament been put in the Bible in the order they are in? |
Bible Answer: Pam D Pam the epistles are arranged by category as such; Gospels, Here there is a further break down placing Matthew, Mark and Luke as Synoptic Gospels and John separate, followed by Historical (Acts), the Pauline epistles followed by the general epistles, followed by Revelation. Some make the distinction in the Pauline Epistles further grouping them as letters to churches and pastoral (or individuals) epistles followed by the general epistles and Revelation. Still others assigning a separate designation to Hebrews. EdB |
