In this episode of the Bible Project podcast, Tim and I continue our discussion on the composition

of the Bible and what it means for this book to be God's divine word.

There's a tension here.

The Bible emerged out of the history of Israel, but that also is met by another claim that

the scriptural authors make about these writings themselves, that they are also a word from

God.

So this fights us into the, you could call it the paradox or the unique category of

script scriptures.

And it claimed to be a divine and human word at the same time.

We're going to go deep into the structure of the Bible from beginning to end, starting

with the Old Testament, which is primarily the history of ancient Israel.

The Hebrew Bible is a minority report on the history of Israel, told from the perspective

of what during Israel's history before the exile was a minority group, prophets, who

believe that they were preserving the true heritage and history of Israel from Moses,

and that most of Israel had gone astray.

We then talk about the New Testament books and how the disciples of Jesus claim that Israel's

story was being continued with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

This is a great conclusion to our overview of what is the Bible, which is all being boiled

down into a video that you could find on our YouTube channel.

Thanks for joining in.

Here we go.

So in the last episode of the podcast, we talked about how the Bible is composed.
