A Study for Film, Theater, Bible as Literature Students or Anyone -Why is the Bible a collection of stories rather than simply a great dissertation? -Why does Scripture utilize the same plot structures that can be found in secular literature? -How can we know that the Bible isn't simply a product of the imaginations of men?
