In this video, Grace@Work leader Cortney Alexander talks about what the Bible is.
The Bible is a collection of books written by forty authors over a period of almost 2,000 years. The various books have different purposes and styles, including historical narratives; songs of praise, prayer, thanksgiving, and lament; wise sayings for living a flourishing life; accounts of the life of Jesus; letters from early church leaders addressing specific issues and aspects of Christian life; and even prophetic books foretelling future events. But while these books were written in different styles for different purposes, they share one thing in common. They were written by men, but they were not merely written by men.
