The Bible is a collection of 66 books, but not all of them were written in the same context or in the same genre. In addition to this, even though the Scriptures were inspired by One Holy God, the Bible has many authors with different literary styles in their writings.

How to Read the Bible is written to help people understand how to approach Scripture in its own terms of interpretation. From narrative to poetry, and from the epistles to apocalyptic literature, the editors of this book seek to help the reader be a diligent student of God’s Word as they interpret it faithfully.
