The Origins of the Biblical Texts

The biblical texts are a way of retelling the story so that when we retell it this way we encounter god speaking to us through the words. The subjective experience of Israelites hearing god speak to them through retelling their story with god is how they talk back to god in prayer like in the Psalms. It's one of the many ways jesus is the perfect fulfillment of this family story because he was that god become a human to do for Israel and for all humanity what none of us seem to be able to do for ourselves which is overcome our stupidity and selfishness and overcome death, says David Walliams.
