    The Background to the Bible
    Thinking about something Keenu wrote about the background to the Bible wouldn't it be accurate to say that it didn't have one single background but each book of the Bible had its own background?


    What thoughts do you have?

    The Bible is "a book" only because the Church (the Body of Christ) has designated it so.

    But the Church also recognizes that it is actually a collection of books.

    Indeed, each book has it's own background, was written primarily to a secific group of people in a specific period.

    Further, one must take care to recognize what type of writing is in each one: parable-like, historic, legal, poetry, sayings, etc...
