The Bible is one book made of 66 books. But if you start reading the Bible from page one and keep going, you’re going to get confused, because the Bible isn’t organized chronologically. It’s organized by genre. Think of the Bible like a library. You walk in, and if you want a book about history, you go to the history section. If you want a book of poetry, you go to the poetry section. Just because it’s listed later doesn’t mean it happened later. That’s how the Bible works. Furthermore, you wouldn’t read a book of poetry the same way you’d read a biography on John Adams. Each genre requires a different understanding. Fortunately, you can do it!
This 16-page study guide that walks you through this library idea, and teaches you how to read each genre in a way that helps you get the most out of your Bible reading.
