The “validity” of the Bible is an ill-posed concept. It’s neither valid nor invalid. It’s pretty poor as a history, but a treasure as a historical document.

The “validity” of the Bible is an ill-posed concept. It’s neither valid nor invalid. It’s pretty poor as a history, but a treasure as a historical document. Understood literally, it’s bizarre, contradictory and rambling. Read in cultural and historical context it’s an enlightening (if not _inspired_ ) look at mankind’s place in the cosmos and how one should live knowing that you will die.
