The Bible is Not a Book

There are big implications for thinking that the Bible is one book.  The reality is that the Bible is actually many "books", a whole library of books in one volume, where "books" is used generously to mean stories, poems, songs, parables, history, law, prophecies, letters, and more.  In this episode, we discuss the notion of genre and how it applies to the Bible-library and consider several particular genres, their main texture, and the implications for interpretation in light of genre.
