You're right. The Bible starts with the first five books, but then begins to unfold an incredibly compelling narrative rooted in culture and history right up until approximately 2016 years ago give or take a few years. Have a look at thebibleproject.com, and the "Read Scripture" app on iPhone/Android. The Bible has a record that is truly worth a read: first printed book ever to be published (Gutenberg), the most translated book on the planet, the most printed book in all human history, more archaeological artifacts and manuscript evidence than any other book. With a pedigree like that, doesn't it warrant an honest investigation into its central message?
