What is the Bible for?

Helping humans understand how literature works

A library of human encounters with divinity

Scripting a people’s performance of shalom

Seeing the world as God’s

Revealing the character and purpose of God

Showing us our foolishness and God’s wisdom

A declaration of dependence

Showing us God’s ways in people’s words

Language to thread the past and present

An invitation to live as God’s love

Consolation and provocation as we encounter God

Tells a story in breath, rhythm, song
