b) The HBFV is one of the only known modern translation that uses the original inspired canonical manuscript order to arrange the books. This restores the original book order and reestablishes its seven divisions which are: 1) The Law, 2) The Prophets, 3) The Writings, 4) The Gospels and Acts, 5) The General Epistles, 6) The Epistles of Paul, and 7) The Book of Revelation. According to its translator, the HBFV reflects the true meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek text and shows the unity of Scripture between the Old and New Testaments.
