Who cares what order the Koran or Bible or Jewish OT were written they were all written in an age of ignorance by humans who didn't know any better.


They were written by humans trying to understand the world around them. There are many reasons to desire to understand more about the texts and what they can teach us about these people, their time, their lifestyle, their understanding of the world, anthropologically, historically, sociologically, economically, politically. The theological veracity of the texts is not the only determinant of their importance as historical and cultural documents.
