In your journey through this curriculum, have you been more impressed with how unique the Bible is in its context, or how similar it is? We’ve looked at laws, poems and proverbs, stories and sayings, prophetic oracles and apocalyptic visions. They all had something in common with non-biblical literature.
Did the similarities bother you? Chances are, you felt uncomfortable at some points along the way. Let’s see if we can wrap up this issue and figure out why God used so many common cultural forms to communicate His unique revelation.
