For many Christians, the Bible is a crutch to faith. If you no longer had a Bible, would you still believe in God? Abraham didn't have a Bible, and he believed, and God credited it to him as righteousness. God is so much bigger than the bindings of a book. Rather than try to do mental gymnastics to justify/prove the Bible, what if we recognized that the Bible is a collection of writings from people of faith who are sharing their witness - their experience of God - with us?
