The Bible: What is it? What’s it for? Who wrote it and why should I read it? These are good questions to which there are good answers. Often however, basic questions like this are considered too easy to be discussed or explained. Are we Christians too embarrassed to admit that we don’t know or have we just never thought about it? I’d for one would like to see more clarity!

Like every book ever written, it is a subjective story or account that one or more people sought worthy of recording. Is it true or not, this is the same kind of question as asking whether Karl Marx’s writting was true, or the biography of Bill Clinton.
One thing can always be said of non fiction writing: there is always some truth somewhere in there! Just how much, or what part is actually true is a matter for internal debate.

Alex: Do you subscribe to this post-modern, construct-your-own-truth philosophy where everything is “true” because there is no Truth and truth is just that which people call “truth”?

For what my two cents is worth, I believe that the Bible gives us all the information we need to know the one true God and to be rightly related to Him.
