Reading the Bible as a Literary Anthology PSALMS to God

- Religion & Spirituality
"For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe."
-1 Thessalonians 2:13 NKJV
the Bible is FULL of literary devices like Symbolism, Allegory, Metaphors, and more. When I started picking up on these techniques, it helped me identify themes I'd missed in previous readings and it made it all the more interesting to read! So, despite my preference for numbers, we're going to spend some time looking at the Bible as a piece of literature! First, let's be clear that the Bible is an anthology.
