The Bible is a unique collection of sacred books and oral traditions that dates back over 5,000 years. It contains genuine history but also myths, legends, fables, and poems. There are also books of law, ethics, and prophecy. The four Gospels describe the life of Christ. The Book of Revelation addresses the future of civilization, including the End of the World and Judgment Day.
The receptive mind is always ready to consider new ideas and evaluate them fearlessly and rationally. In their attempt to find truth, the authors have removed the Bible from its previously inaccessible pedestal and they treat it as objectively as any other piece of valuable research data.
