READING FORWARD

Hays’ other direction — an Old Testament chapter and its whole afterlife

843 chapters, 50 books

The editions read forward — a New Testament passage back to its sources. This runs the other way: a whole Old Testament chapter, read the direction it was written, with the places it surfaces later hung in the gutter of the verse that produced them. Pick a chapter.
