Oooook. JOSHUA!
Sylvia
... JUDGES!
Actually, I was interested in the commentary on Michalangelo's Creation of Adam painting - I'd never noticed that Eve is there too.
I learnted sumthing today
RUTH!!!

"Joshua .... Judges ... Ruth"
What right did Joshua have to judge Ruth anyway? He should have minded his own business!
Every time I think of Judges I have the image of a bloke with a tentpeg between his eyes It has to be one of the most gruesome books in the Bible!
And followed by a wonderful love story too - I wonder if it was deliberate?
Anyway on with the show - 1 AND 2 SAMUEL
One of my baby daughter's middle names is JAEL.
1 and 2 Kings.
Isn't there a 3 and 4 Kings in the Douay Bible?
Behave yourself, Gopher!!!

I had a Catholic Bible once. I think -- what Protestants call 1 & 2 Samuel, they call 1 & 2 Kings. And what Protestants call 1 & 2 Kings, they call 3 & 4 Kings. (Personally, I prefer the Catholic names, because most of 1 & 2 Samuel is about the kings.)
most of 1 & 2 Samuel is about the kings.)
True that, true that. Traces the start of the Davidic dynasty culminating in the birth of The Messiah.
I LOVE history.

Hmmm not sure about that 1 and 2 Kings might be as is and the next books 1 and 2 Chronicles which are called 3 and 4 Kings.
I'm sitting in a shop with loads of different Bible translations but not a Douai - not much call for that one these days, most RC's are happy with the New Jerusalem Bible.
