2: Somebody Wrote Something Down
The Bible was written by people. There was lots of material to choose from and we gets hints of that in various places.The writers were selecting and editing the content they chose to include.The Bible is ultimately a library.
The Bible is:
“Real people,
writing in real places,
at real times,
choosing to include some material,
choosing to leave out other material.”
