What is the Bible?

Sometimes, things don't make sense until we know what we are reading.

Maybe you've found yourself in a similar situation when you were trying to read something from the Bible.

It’s a collection of life over many years with the lens of God on mankind, yet, also of mankind toward God.

We see that the Bible is a collection of writings written over 1,000 years, from 40+ different writers, but One Main Author.
