The Chronology of the Old Testament

DW | Old Testament
1.3 - The Chronology
The Old Testament of the Bible spans a great sweep of time from perhaps 2000 B.C., down to the century before Christ. But in noting this large span of time, we must beware of thinking that the books in the Old Testament are in chronological order. They are not. Written at many different times, they are found mixed throughout the Bible.
As a result, we must treat the actual chronology separately and explore the corresponding books that relate to that time period separately from how they fall in biblical order. We will do so in this lecture series. So, what is the Chronology of Biblical Israel?

What I don't understand is why Christians refer so much much to the old testament isn't the new Testament the Christian Boble?

[@peteram9527]

The Christian bible consists of two parts the Old Testament, the Torah, and the New Testament Christianity. The fact that the gods in each one act totally different has been ignored by Christians, Yahweh a god of war and the god of Jesus one of love and peace. The original followers and Jesus were Hebrews and his story was sort of added on.
