The Bible has both a divine quality and a human side to its design. It is inspired by the Spirit of God so that it records, in its very words, God’s special revelation concerning His dealings with human beings. Yet it does this using the writing styles and selected genres of its human authors. Written in three different languages, the sixty-six books of the Bible span some 1,500 years of human history. God expresses His Word in varieties of vocabulary and writing styles as well as in diverse cultures and historic settings, while still maintaining a consistent theme and purpose. The Bible is unique among books for its message, its diversity, its survival, and its power to change lives. When we read the Bible, we read a God-breathed text that retains Divine and Human attributes.
