NOTE

Reading the Bible Literarily

The Bible is a diverse library written by numerous authors in various genres and languages. It contains history, memoir, biography, poetry, prophecy, apocalyptic literature, genealogical records, letters, and more. To understand the Bible accurately, one should read it literarily, not literally. This means interpreting the text according to its genre and the author's intended message. Reading the Bible at face value is not feasible due to the presence of metaphors, word pictures, and ancient concepts. By reading the Bible literarily, we can grasp the true essence and meaning of the text.
