What changes when you read the Bible in composition order?
Open a Bible to page one and you'll find two creation stories. Different details. Different authors. The first account gives us the earth in six days, with a rest day on the seventh. The second gives us the garden and Adam and Eve. The Bible's beginning is actually two beginnings — a seam you notice when you read in the order the texts were composed. Uncanon sits between devotional apps, which start with what to believe, and academic resources, which assume you already know the field — presenting the scholarship on who wrote the Bible in plain language, with room to draw your own conclusions.
