The Nature of the Bible

"The Bible is one continuous and organic story though told in a variety of genres and by a variety of authors who provided different perspectives on the same truth. The Bible is composed of many books but in the end it is a single book. It has many authors but ultimately is the product of a single Author. It is important to study the books of the Bible from the perspective of their distinctive contribution as well as their connection to the whole" [Tremper Longman, Proverbs, p. 65].
