HINTS CW READING THE BIBLE
The Bible is, of course, a whole library of books rather
than, as some suppose, just one book. Among other things
it includes letters, short stories, history, law, and poetry. |
The actual writing-down of the different parts of .the s
Holy Bible took place over a period roughly from 100 B. C. j
to 100 A. D. Many of the books were not written by one j
author, In the way that a novel or modem work of history j
is composed, but many of them are the work of many \
compilers and editors.
Perhaps it all seemS like a hodge-podge. Yes, the kind j
of thing one deals with in attempting to read the Bible in- j
telligently is undoubtedly complicated and has kept a great j
many scholars occupied for years. Buffer any practical j
purpose there is no need for the ordinary Christian to get ;
into the technicalities of Bible study. It is enough to have |
a rough idea of what is in this library of religious books, i
so that one may vary his reading said be sure not to miss
things that he will really enjoy and that will be helpful
to him.
Consider for a moment short stories in the Bible.
Esther, and Jonah are short stories. Ruth and Jonah have
themes which are against racial prejudice, while Esther is
thoroughly nationalistic. - 1 |
v The poetry of the Bible is wonderful. Job is a great)
poem on the'difficult subject of why God permits tin; m
nocent to suiter, it does not end with an easy answer, to'!
the question, out it is signincanc reading ana n uucs con
tain an answer. Proverbs is a collection oi little moral
poems. Lamentations is a tragic poem' about tne Exue of
the Jews in Babylon. Psalms is a hymn book containing
some of the best-Loved jjpetry in the world.
The Prophets tdb are very important. Malachi will not
be unfamiliar to anyone who has heard many sermons-.
The writer says that ‘people are not religious enough” and
that “everyone should pay tithes to tne church.” On a
higher plane are books like Amos, Micah, and Hosea.v who
are deeply concerned witfl social justice und with the
knowledge of thefeve of God. The greatest of the prophets
were Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the annonymous writer oi the
last part of the book of Isaiah, chapters 40-46, containing
scone of the most beautiful passages m the entire Bible.
The law-books and history books are important also.
The story of the Israelites and their adventures make good
reading, but it is hard to locate the story in a continuous
thread because it is interspersed with great portions of
the laws of the Hebrew people. '
However, it is important that we know the history of
the Hebrew people and their religious thought, ana aiac
we know 'the whole story of God’s revelation of Himself to
man in a general way during this specific period of history
as found in the Old Testament.
Through the Old Testament we learn the importance
of the Covenant. What we call the Old Testament really
should be called the Old Covenant or Solemn Agreement,
involving: help on God’s part, obedience on man’s part.
People read what Jesus and St. Paul said about the
Law, and think that it has all been cancelled out and
therefore* is of no importance, almost as if God had gottf t
Christ wits not out for loss obodk-iicc, but ukh'O!
