As we reThink the Bible, we’ll be looking at it as more than a work of literature. We’ll be looking at it as a work of inspired authority and authentic history. Because the Bible claims to be all of that: an authentic, authoritative, historical work with words from God Himself. If the Bible is historically accurate, and if its writings and words were directed or spoken (that is, inspired) by God Himself, then there are implications for all of us.
