Slave of God
In the name of God, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Peace and blessings of God be upon you all.
Forgive me if these questions have been asked before, but I was recently discussing this with a Christian in my hometown and he was unable to answer.
1. The Bible is a compilation of many books by many authors. Who decided which books were included in this compilation? Who decided which books were thrown out?
2. Did the authors of the books know that their books would be a part of a larger work? If so, were there any books that were rejected from being admitted into the compilation?
3. Is there any order to the books in the Bible? I know they're not chronological, but do they have any other order such as by topic or by author?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
--Would a rose, by any other...?
