“The Bible was written by people with perspectives grounded in their cultures and times and places. They're having experiences and undergoing events and then processing and interpreting those events and experiences. That's what the Bible is.

“First, when people belittle the Bible as lacking in depth or sophistication, they probably haven't read it. It doesn't matter how smart or educated or studied someone is, to make a broad dismissals of the scriptures as having nothing to say to the modern world about what it means to be human is absurd and naive.”
