It's the weirdest and most challenging Book you'll ever read, and mostly because of the poetic language, and the figures of speech--which don't literally mean what they say, like when we read about David having a Cup that was overflowing. People have written songs about that account; like how "We're drinking from the saucer, 'cause my Cup has overflowed".. Maybe we didn't know it when we first read Psalm 23, but time and understanding of the language brings us to knowing he was speaking of the blessings of his abundant life.
From Genesis to Revelation (the Book-Ends), these sixty-six books of the Bible have intrigued generations around the world, and the few who have elected to study it seriously (sometimes in complete unbelief!) have mostly become staunch advocates of the Faith, who believe Jesus and The Word always spoke the perfect Truth..
