Revision as of 18:45, 27 February 2011

See the article on the canon for the general idea of how the "official list of books in the Old Testament" developed from TNK and LXX.

The Chronological order is approximately by the date of the topical material in the book. The book of Jonah, for example, tells a story that would have taken place in the 8th century BC but almost certainly was composed after the exile.

The Composition order is only very roughly indicative of when the books (or the material in them) might have been begun. Scholars disagree endlessly over when composition may have begun and when the final edition may have been completed.

X - Do a timeline ...

Exile: The time of the Babylonian Captivity (587-520 BC).
