Why should we care about a book written thousands of years ago? Can there be anything relevant in it for us?
No one in their right mind would doubt that the Bible is a remarkable book. It has long been the number-one bestseller. Each year, people buy hundreds of millions of Bibles. The Bible—the whole or part of it—is available in more than 1,500 languages, and each year it sees yet more translations. It is a collection of books written by at least 40 human authors whom God inspired. It uses more than three-quarters of a million words written over a period of more than 1,000 years. And there is an amazing harmony in it from beginning to end!
