The Bible is a collection of 66 books, but not all of them were written in the same context or in the same genre. Furthermore, even though the Scriptures were inspired by the One and Holy God, the Bible has different authors with different literary styles in their writings.
How to Read Your Bible has been written to help people understand how to approach the Scriptures on their own terms of interpretation. From narrative to poetry and from epistles to apocalyptic literature, the editors of this book seek to help the reader to be a diligent student of God's word and to interpret it faithfully.
