- W2007014717 abstract "Before we can come to any fair estimate of the use which we may make of the Bible as a spiritual resource in our modern world, we must canvass briefly the nature and function of the Book itself. We must acknowledge that the religious service which the Bible renders is in part independent of any such survey. In the humblest home where the Bible is used one can find evidence of the service which the Book has rendered -here are pages thumbed, underscored, torn, perhaps even tear-stained; and one comes into the presence of such a use of the Book with naught but reverence. Even so, the whole Bible can never have its real significance apart from some general understanding of its nature and function. We discover, once we enter upon such a study, that the Book, while a unity in the sense of being the product or literary deposit of the continuous Hebrew-Christian religious development, is a unity in diversity. Each of its two main divisions is, in fact, a literature, every separate pamphlet or book having arisen out of a definite situation or for the meeting of a specific need. It would be quite out of place in this brief discussion to attempt to indicate, even in the most cursory fashion, what situation or practical aim is indicated or implied in each book. One may turn to the preface of the Gospel of Luke, for example, for an instance of a definitely declared purpose in writing; or one may take up the Corinthian correspondence of Paul, and he will at once find evidence that Paul is writing to meet certain very definite needs in the Corinthian church. In some such way every book of the Bible is more or less particular and concrete." @default.
